Chapter 1, Problem 1.36SP
Two observation towers A and B are located 300 ft apart, as shown. An object on the ground between the towers is observed at point C, and the observer on tower A notes that the angle CAB is 68° 10’. At the same time, the observer on tower B notes that the angle CBA is 72° 30’. Assuming a horizontal surface and towers of equal height, how far is the object from each tower and how high are the towers?

A 300 cc solid weigh 180 grams in water and 240 grams in water and 240 grams in oil whose relative density or specific gravity is 83, Find a) the weight of the solid b) the density of the solid c) the loss of weight in water (Buoyant force in water) d) the loss of weigh-in oil (Buoyant force in oil)
When one boy is sitting 1.20m from the center of a seesaw, another boy must sit on the other side 1.59m from the center to maintain an even balance.
However, when the first boy carries an additional weight of 14kg and sit 1.80m from the center, the second boy must move to 3m from the center to balance.
Neglecting the weight of the seesaw, find the weight of the heavier boy.
