If y = sin−1 x, then sin y = x,−π/2 ≤ y ≤ π/2. Therefore, to find y = sin−1(−3/22, we must find an angle y whose sine is -3/2. There are many possible angles with this sine, but the range of y = sin−1 x is restricted to [ , ]...

A Foucault pendulum is designed to demonstrate the effect of the Earth's rotation. A Foucault pendulum displayed in a museum is typically quite long, making the effect easier to see. Consider a Foucault pendulum of length 16 m with a 109-kg brass bob. It is set to swing wi...
