A peacock is sitting on the tree and observes its prey on the ground. It makes an angle of depression of `22^(@)` to catch the prey. The speed of the peacock was observed to be 10 km/hr and it catches its prey in 1 min 12 seconds. At what height was the peacock on the tree?
`(cos 22^(@)=0.927, sin 22^(@)=0.374, tan 22^(@)=0.404)`

Roshani saw an eagle on the top of a tree at an angle of elevation of 61^(@) , while she was standing at the door of her house. She went on the terrace of the house so that she could see it clearly. The terrace was at a height of 4m . While observing the eagle from there the angle of elevation was 52^(@) . At what height from the ground was the eagle? tan 61^(@)=1.8, tan 52^(@)=1.28, tan 29^(@)=0.55, tan 38^(@)=0.78)

A bicycle is traveling downhill at a high speed. Suddenly, the cyclist sees that a bridge ahead has collapsed, so she has to stop. What is the maximum magnitude of acceleration the bicycle can have if it is not to flip over its front wheel—in particular, if its rear wheel is not to leave the ground? The slope makes an angle of 37^@ with the horizontal. On level ground, the centre of mass of the woman–bicycle system is at a point 1.0 m above the ground, 1.0 m horizontally behind the axle of the front wheel, and 35.0 cm in front of the rear axle. Assume that the tires do not skid.
