Solve for Q
Q= sin^-1 1.5/9.8
I got 8.80 Is this correct?
I have a TI-30 calculator and to do the sin^-1 I pushed the 2nd button and then sin. I am not sure if this is correct.
If that is 11.5 in the numerator, no way. Sine cannot be over 1.0 ever. So arcsin-greater than one is nuts.
No it is sin^-1 (1.15/9.8)
This is arcsin(1.15/9.8)=
=arcsin 0.117=6.74 degr
To solve for Q in the equation Q = sin^-1 (1.5/9.8), you correctly used the inverse sine function to find the angle whose sine is 1.5/9.8. However, it seems like there was a slight mistake in your calculation.
To use the inverse sine function on your TI-30 calculator, you need to press the "2nd" button, and then the "sin" button. This will allow you to enter the value 1.5/9.8 and get the corresponding angle in radians.
Now, let's do the calculation correctly using a calculator:
Q = sin^-1 (1.5/9.8)
Q ≈ 0.157 radians
So, the approximate value of Q is 0.157 radians.
Therefore, the value you got, 8.80, is not correct. Please double-check your calculations to find the correct value of Q.
