## anonymous 3 years ago arush sat down to study at 8 a.m. the angle of elevation of the sun was 15'.when he finished studying the angle of elevation of the sun was 55'.how long did arush study?

be nice poopsie how the heck you become ambassador?

set a ratio original to new time 8/x=15/55

8. anonymous

that reduces to 8/x = 3/11

or i think i did it wrong

yes option is also given 40 mins, 1hrs 20mins, 2hrs 23mins, 2hrs 40 mins

i am confused perhabs if we divide the angle 360 into a 24 hour thingy. so 360 degree= 24 hour

nt getting

17. anonymous

ooh maybe the horizontal length is fixed and just the vertical varies.

what latitude does he live in?

if you assume that the sun travels in an arc directly overhead then you can get the angular velocity of the sun as$\omega=\frac{180^{\circ}}{12 \text{ hours}}=15^{\circ}/\text{h}$then $\Delta t=\frac{\Delta\theta}{w}=\frac{55^{\circ}-15^{\circ}}{15^{\circ}/h}=\frac{8}{3}h=160\text{ min}$

but here the sun is at 15 degrees at 8 am so the time zone are a bit messed up. I guess it is plausible as long as the area is right on the edge of a time zone, but you would expect the sun to rise and set around 6am and 6 pm.
