If O is the circumcentre and O' the orthocenter of `DeltaABC` prove that
(i) SA+SB+SC=3SG, where S is any point in the plane of `DeltaABC`.
(ii) OA+OB+OC=OO'
Where, AP is diameter of the circumcircle.

Let G be the centroid of `DeltaABC`, first we shall show that circumcentre O, orthocenter O' and centroid G are collinear and O'G=2OG.

Let AL and BM be perpendiculars on the sides BC and CA, respectively. Let AD be the median and OD be the perpendicular from O on side BC. iff R is the circumradius of circumcircle of `DeltaABC`, then OB=OC=R.
In `DeltaOBD,` we have OD=R cosA . . . (i)
In `DeltaABM,AM=AB cos A=c cosA` . . . (ii)
form `DeltaAO'M,AO'=AMsec(90^(@)-C)`
=c cos A cosec C
`=(c)/(sinC)*cosA=2RcosA " "(because(a)/(sinA)=(b)/(sinB)=(c)/(sinC)=2R)`
`AO'=2(OD)` . . . (iii)
Now, `DeltaAGO' and DeltaOGD` are similar.
`therefore(OG)/(O*G)=(GD)/(GA)=(OD)/(AO')=(1)/(2)` [using Eq. (iii)]
`implies 2OG=O'G`
(i) We have, `SA+SB+SC=SA+(SB+SC)`
`=SA+2SD` (`because` D is the mid-point of BC)
`=(1+2)+SG=8SG`.
(ii) On replacing S by O in Eq. (i), we get
`OA+OB+OC=3OG`
`=2OG+OG=GO'+OG`
`=OG+GO'+O O'`.

A student performs an experiment to determine how the range of a ball depends on the velocity with which it is projected. The "range" is the distance between the points where the ball lends and from where it was projected, assuming it lands at the same height from which it was projected. It each trial, the student uses the same baseball, and launches it at the same angle. Table shows the experimental results. |{:("Trail","Launch speed" (m//s),"Range"(m)),(1,10,8),(2,20,31.8),(3,30,70.7),(4,40,122.5):}| Based on this data, the student then hypothesizes that the range, R, depends on the initial speed v_(0) according to the following equation : R=Cv_(0)^(n) , where C is a constant and n is another constant. The student speculates that the constant C depends on :- (i) The angle at which the ball was launched (ii) The ball's mass (iii) The ball's diameter If we neglect air resistance, then C actually depends on :-

Consider a thin lens placed between a source (S) and an observer (O) (see figure) . Let the thicknes of the lens very as w(b) = w_0 - (b^2)/(alpha) , where b is the verticle distance from the pole. w_0 is constant.
