A weight is supported by cables attached to both ends of a balance beam, as shown in the figure. What angles (alpha, beta) are formed between the beam and the cables? (Round the values to the nearest tenth of a degree). The angle a(alpha) measures__; the angle beta (beta) measures__. Three atoms A, with radius 4.5, B with radius 3, and C with radius 2 units are arranged as shown in the figure. Find the distance between the centers of the atoms A and C. The distance between the centers of atoms A and C is__units.Solution
1. We have to use law of cosine here
602=452+902 - 2*45*90 cos alpha
8100 cos alpha = 6525
cos alpha= 6525/8100
alpha = 36.34 degree
452 = 602+902-2*60*90 cos beta
10800 cos beta= 9675
cos beta= 9675/10800
beta=26.38 degree
