Question

A string attached to an airborne kite is maintained at an angle of 40° with the horizontal. If a total of 120 m of string is reeled in while bringing the kite back to the ground, what is the horizontal displacement of the kite in the process? (Assume the kite string doesn’t sag.)

Answer 1

whoops not accurate

Answer 2

easier now:)

Answer 3

what is the final answer

Answer 4

use trig., cosine...

Answer 5

\[\cos (40) = \frac{x}{120} \rightarrow 120 \cos (40) = x \rightarrow x \approx 91.92 m\]
