Gadisar Lake is located in the Jaisalmer district of Rajasthan. It was built by the King of Jaisalmer and rebuilt by Gadsi Singh in 14th century. The Lake has many Chhatris. One of them is shown below:

Question Image

Observe the picture. From a point on the ground level A,  h m above the water surface, the angle of elevation to the top of Chhatri B is 45° and angle of depression to its reflection in water C is 60°. The height of Chhatri from the water surface is 10 m

What is the height h of the point A above water level ? (Use 3=1.73)

A block of mass m is resting on a horizontal plane is gradually inclined. As shown in the figure below, the frictional force fs balances the force due to gravity (mg sinθ) on the block as the plane being inclined. Find, the maximum inclination θ beyond which the block starts to slide, given that, fs= μ(mg cosθ), where μ=13, the coefficient of friction between the two surfaces, g is the acceleration due to gravity.
