A farmer wants to fence off his four-sided plot of flat land. He measures three sides, shown as A, B, and D in the Figure, and then correctly calculates the length and orientation of the third side C. The length of A, B, and D are all 7.06 km. Their angles theta1, theta2, and theta3 are all 2.16 degrees. What did he find as the magnitude of C (in unit of km)?
Explorers in the jungle find an ancient monument in the shape of a large isosceles triangle as shown. The monument is made from tens of thou- sands of small stone blocks of density = 800 kg/m3 . The monument is 15.7 m high and 64.8 m wide at its base and is everywhere 3.60 m thick from front to back. Before the monument was built many years ago, all the stone blocks lay on the ground. (a) Choosing a coordinate system with x = 0 at the center of the pyramid, y = 0 at the base of the pyramid, and z = 0 at the face of the pyramid shown in the diagram, determine the coordinates of the center of mass of the pyramid in the x, y, and z directions. (b) How much work did laborers do on the blocks to put them in position while building the entire monument? Note: The gravitational potential energy of an object–Earth system is given by Ug = MgyCM, where M is the total mass of the object and yCM is the elevation of its center of mass above the chosen reference level.

A juggler tossing juggling balls can handle two balls per second, it takes at least 0.5sec to catch a ball with one hand and start it upward again with the other hand. If he is juggling five balls altogether, what is the minimum height reached by the highest ball in order to make a perfect juggle?
The scalar triple product of three vectors is a • (b x c). Prove that the scalar triple product will not change when you cyclically permute the three vectors. (i.e., prove that a • (b x c) = b • (c x a) = c • (a x b) )
