City Guilds Model Questions Vol1 2021 Engineering Question 27
Practice objective / multiple choice question 27 from the 2021 City Guilds Model Questions Vol1 Engineering examination.
Two vertical poles stand on level ground and are illuminated by the sun at the same instant. The shorter pole has a known height of \(3.0\ \text{m}\) and casts a shadow of length \(2.00\ \text{m}\). The taller pole casts a shadow of length \(12.0\ \text{m}\). Assuming the sun's rays are parallel, the heights of the poles are proportional to the lengths of their shadows. If each shadow length may be in error by up to \(\pm0.05\ \text{m}\), determine the possible range of the taller pole's height.
