A kite is flying at a height of 60 m above the ground. The string attached to the kite is temporarily tied to a point on the ground. The inclination of the string with the ground is `60^@`. Find the length of the string, assuming that there is no slack in the string.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the length of the string attached to the kite, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Triangle**: We have a right triangle formed by the height of the kite, the length of the string, and the distance on the ground. Let's denote: - Point A as the kite's position (60 m above the ground), - Point B as the point directly below the kite on the ground, ...
