The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of how much population is covered by the TV broadcast from a tower of height 70 m, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the given data - Height of the TV tower (h) = 70 m - Average population density (ρ) = 1000 people/km² - Radius of the Earth (R) = 6.4 × 10^6 m ### Step 2: Convert population density to m² Since the population density is given in km², we need to convert it to m²: 1 km² = (1000 m)² = 10^6 m² Thus, the population density in people/m² is: \[ \rho = \frac{1000 \text{ people}}{10^6 \text{ m}^2} = 10^{-3} \text{ people/m}^2 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the distance (d) covered by the broadcast We can use the formula for the distance covered by the broadcast: \[ d = \sqrt{2hR} \] Substituting the values: \[ d = \sqrt{2 \times 70 \, \text{m} \times 6.4 \times 10^6 \, \text{m}} \] Calculating this: \[ d = \sqrt{2 \times 70 \times 6.4 \times 10^6} \] \[ d = \sqrt{8960000} \approx 2993.33 \, \text{m} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the area covered by the broadcast The area (A) covered by the broadcast can be calculated using the formula for the area of a circle: \[ A = \pi d^2 \] Substituting the value of d: \[ A = \pi (2993.33)^2 \] Calculating this: \[ A \approx 3.14 \times 8960000 \approx 28134400 \, \text{m}^2 \] ### Step 5: Calculate the population covered Now, we can find the total population covered by multiplying the area by the population density: \[ \text{Population} = \rho \times A \] Substituting the values: \[ \text{Population} = 10^{-3} \, \text{people/m}^2 \times 28134400 \, \text{m}^2 \] Calculating this: \[ \text{Population} \approx 28134.4 \, \text{people} \] ### Final Answer The population covered by the TV broadcast is approximately **28134 people**. ---
