Dear student,
(1) If we assume the height at which the wire has been joined is y m and the new length of the wire is x m. Then, using trigonometry, we would have:
y=18sin30^{\circ},x=\frac{18sin30^{\circ}}{sin60^{\circ}}=6\sqrt{3}
Hence the length of the wire that was cut is equal to:18-6\sqrt{3}m
(2) The total height of the builiding would be equal to the height above the window .
So, this comes out to be:
\frac{8}{tan30^{\circ}}tan60^{\circ}=24 m
(3) For b = 3, we would have:
\left ( x+2 \right )^2=x(x+3)\Rightarrow x=-4
(4) The total volume would be equal to:
V=\pi r^2h+\pi r^2 \frac{h'}{3}=\pi (10^2)(280)+\pi (10^2) \frac{42}{3}=9240000 cm^3
Hence the required weight would be equal to:
V\times 7.5=69300000 gm=69300 kg
(5) Volume of a hemisphere is equal to
V=\frac{2}{3}\pi r^3
Hence, the volume of the cone would be equal to
V_c=\pi r^3=\frac{22}{7}\times 7^3=1078 cm^3
Hence, the height of the cone would be equal to:
h=3\times r=21 cm
Thus the total surface area of the toy would be equal to:
S=\pi r \left ( r+\sqrt{r^2+h^2} \right )+2\pi r^2
