The time in seconds that it takes for a sled to slide down a hillside inclined at an angle θ is given by the formula below, where d is the length of the slope in feet. Find the time it takes to slide down a 2000 ft slope inclined at 30°. (Round your answer to one decimal place.) t = d 16 sin θ

Answer: It takes 15.8 seconds to slide down a 2000 ft slope.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

[tex]t=\sqrt{\dfrac{d}{16\sin\theta}}[/tex]

where, t is the time taken,

d is the length to slide down a slope

sin θ is the angle at which it inclined.

So, we have d = 2000 ft

θ = 30°

So, the time taken is given by

[tex]t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2000}{16\sin 30^\circ}}\\\\t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2000}{8}}\\\\t=\sqrt{250}\\\\t=15.81\ seconds[/tex]

Hence, it takes 15.8 seconds to slide down a 2000 ft slope.
