A circular ring of radius 3 cm hangs horizontally from a point 4 cm vertically above its centre by 4 strings attached at equal intervals to its circumference . If the angle between two consecutive strings is` theeta` ,then find the value of cos` theeta`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

OP=4cm
OA=OB=OC=OD=3cm
`(OA)^2+(OP)^2=(AP)^2`
`AP^2=3^3+4^2=25`
`AP=5cm`
AP=BP=DP=CP=5cm
`AB^2+BC^2=AC^2`
`2AB^2=6^2`
