A bird is sitting on the top of a vertical pole 20 m
high and its elevation from a point O on the ground is `45o`
. It flies off horizontally straight away from the
point O. After one second, the elevation of the bird from O is reduced to `30o`
. Then the speed (in m/s) of the bird is
(1) `40(sqrt(2)-1)`
(2)
`40(sqrt(3)-2)`
(3) `20""sqrt(2)`
(4) `20(sqrt(3)-1)`
A
`40 (sqrt(2)-1)`
B
`40 sqrt((3)-sqrt(2))`
C
`20 sqrt(2)`
D
`20(sqrt(3)-1)`

(4) `tan 30 ^2 =(20)/(20 + x )= 1/sqrt(3)` `rArr 20 + x = 20 sqrt( 3)` `rArr x= 20 ( sqrt( 3 -1) ` `Speed is 20 (sqrt(3-1)m//sec)`.
A snake observes an eagle perching on the top of a pole 20 m high. Its elevation from snake s eye is 45^@ before it hies off horizontally straight away from the snake and after one second the elevation of the eagle reduces to 30^@ .The speed of the eagle is
A bird is sitting on the top of an 80 m high tree. From a point on the ground, the angle of elevation of the bird is 45^(@) . The bird flies away horizontally in such a way that it remained at a constant height from the ground. After 2 seconds, the angle of elevation of the bird from the same point is 30^(@) . Find the speed of flying of the bird. (Take sqrt3=1.732 ).
AB is a vertical pole with B at the ground level and A at the top. A man finds that the angle of elevation of the point A from a certain point C on the ground is 60o . He moves away from the pole along the line BC to a point D such that C D""=""7""m . From D the angle of elevation of the point A is 45o . Then the height of the pole is (1) (7sqrt(3))/2 1/(sqrt(3)-1)m (2) (7sqrt(3))/2 sqrt(3)+1m (3) (7sqrt(3))/2 sqrt(3)-1m (4) (7sqrt(3))/2 sqrt(3)+1m
