A straight highway leads to the foot of a tower. A man standing at the top of the tower observes a car at an angle of depression of 30^0 , which is approaching the foot of the tower with a uniform speed. Six seconds later, the angle of depression of the car is found to be 60^0 . Find the time taken by the car to reach the foot of the tower from this point.

To find the width the river, a man observes the top of a tower on the opposite bank making an angle of elevation 61^(@) . When he moves 50m backward from bank and observes the same top of the tower, his line of vision makes an angle of elevationfo 35^(@) . Find the height of the tower and width of the river. (tan 61^(@)=1.8, 35^(@)=0.7)

The period of oscillation of a simple pendulum is T = 2pisqrt((L)/(g)) . Meaured value of L is 20.0 cm know to 1mm accuracy and time for 100 oscillation of the pendulum is found to be 90 s using a wrist watch of 1 s resolution. The accracy in the determinetion of g is :

A student measures the value of g with the help of a simple pendulum using the formula g = (4pi^(2)L)/(T^(2)) . He measures length L with a meter scale having least count 1 mm and finds it 98.0 cm . The time period is measured with the help of a watch of least count 0.1s . The time of 20 oscillations is found to be 40.4 s. The error Deltag in the measurment of g is (" in" m//s^(2)) .

The period of oscillation of a simple pendulum is given by T=2pisqrt((l)/(g)) where l is about 100 cm and is known to have 1 mm accuracy. The period is about 2 s. The time of 100 oscillation is measured by a stop watch of least count 0.1 s. The percentage error is g is
