Question 1008558: A farmer's conveyor belt carries hay bales from the ground to the barn loft which is 12 ft from the ground. The conveyor rises at a 60 degree angle. a.)If the bales are moving at a 10 ft/min, how many minutes does it take for them to make it to the loft? b.) how far from the barn does the conveyor belt begin?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! A farmer's conveyor belt carries hay bales from the ground to the barn loft which is 12 ft from the ground. The conveyor rises at a 60 degree angle. a.)If the bales are moving at a 10 ft/min, how many minutes does it take for them to make it to the loft? b.) how far from the barn does the conveyor belt begin?
Length of belt = 12/sin 60 =13.856 feet
bales move at 10 ft/m
13.856/10 = .1.39 minutes to move to loft
distance of belt from barn = 12/tan 60 =6.93 feet
