A kite is flying at a height of 60mabove the ground. The string attached to the kite is temporarily tied to a point on the ground. The inclination of the string with the ground is 60 .Find the length of the string, assuming that there is no slack in the string.

##### Solution :-

Draw a figure, based on given instruction,

Let BC = Height of the kite from the ground, BC = 60 m

AC = Inclined length of the string from the ground and

A is the point where string of the kite is tied.

To Find: Length of the string from the ground i.e. the value of AC

From the above figure,

sin 60° = $$\dfrac{BC}{AC}$$

⇒ $$\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$$$$\dfrac{60}{AC}$$

⇒ AC = $$40\sqrt{3}\;m$$

Thus, the length of the string from the ground is $$40\sqrt{3}\;m$$.
