A certain escalator travels at a rate of 10.6 m/min, and its angle of inclination is 32.5 degrees. What is the vertical component of the velocity? How long will it take a passenger to travel 10.0 m vertically? \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "vertical component = 10.6*sin(32.5) = 5.64 m/min \n" ); document.write( "---- \n" ); document.write( "time to travel 10m = 10/5.64 = 1.7725 minutes = 1min 46.35 seconds \n" ); document.write( "----------------- \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( "============ \n" ); document.write( " |
