Step-by-Step Solution
The wire is the hypotenuse: sin m (about 27.71 m). Multiplying (24 sin 60 = 12 ) inverts the ratio, and 8 m is the distance of the peg from the foot of the tower.
Answer: B)
A straight steel guy wire is fixed to the top of a vertical mobile tower 24 m high and is anchored to a peg on the level ground, making an angle of 60° with the ground.
