    Bearings for the laps in a boat racing.

    A boat race runs along a triangular course marked by buoys A, B, and C. The race starts with the boats headed west for 3600 meters. The other two sides of the course lie to the north of the first side, and their lengths are 1500 meters and 2800 meters. Draw a diagram that visually represents the problem, and find the bearings fo

    Lobster boat is situated due west of a lighthouse

    A lobster boat is situated due west of a lighthouse. A barge is 12 km south of the lobster boat. From the barge the bearing to the lighthouse is 63 degrees (12 km is the length of the side adjacent to the 63 degree bearing). How far is the lobster boat from the light house?

    Angular Displacement

    The flywheel of a gasoline engine rotates at an angular speed of 3240 rpm. Find its angular displacement (in revolution) in 10 sec.

    Transportation Cost

    For speeds between 40 and 65 mph, a truck gets 480/x miles per gallon when driven at a constant speed of x miles per hour. Diesel gasoline costs 2.23 per gallon, and the driver is paid 15.10 per hour. What is the most economical constant speed between 40 and 65 miles per hour at which to drive the truck.

    Buoyancy and Terminal Velocity

    Archimedes principal of buoancy states that an object submerged in a fluid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid the object displaces. A rectangular box 1foot X 2 feet X 3 feet and weighing 384 lbs. is dropped into a 100 foot deep freshwater lake (density 62.4 lbs/cubic foot). The box immediately begins to
