1.5 s
A stone is thrown vertically upwards from the top of a tower 64 m high according to the law s = 48t - 16t2. The greatest height attained by the stone above ground is
36 m
32 m
100 m
64 m
A wire of length 20 cm is bent in the form of a sector of a circle. The maximum area that can be enclosed by the wire is
20 sq cm
25 sq cm
10 sq cm
30 sq cm
B.
25 sq cm
Given that,
length of the wire P = 20cm
Then, P = diameter + arc length
20 = 2r + S
S = 20 - 2r
S = 2(10 - r) ...(i)
Also, know that area of semicircle
The condition for the line y = mx + c to be a normal to the parabola y2 = 4ax is
c = - 2am - am3
c = 2am + am3
