Understand and Isolate Variable: Understand the equation and isolate the variable r. The equation given is 15=4πrad/s×r×sin(15∘). We need to solve for r, which means we need to isolate r on one side of the equation. To do this, we will divide both sides of the equation by 4πrad/s×sin(15∘).
Divide by Constant: Divide both sides of the equation by 4πrad/s×sin(15∘). r=4πrad/s×sin(15∘)15
Calculate sin(15∘): Calculate sin(15∘).sin(15∘) is a trigonometric function value that can be found using a calculator or trigonometric tables. For the sake of this problem, we will use a calculator.sin(15∘)≈0.2588 (rounded to four decimal places)
Substitute and Solve for r: Substitute sin(15°) into the equation and solve for r.r=(4π×0.2588)15
Perform Calculation: Perform the calculation.r≈(4×π×0.2588)15r≈(3.1416×1.0352)15r≈3.252715r≈4.6112 (rounded to four decimal places)
