A TV tower has a height 72 ~m . The maximum distance upto which TV transmission can be received is (Take, radius of the earth as .6.4 10^6 ~m )
Options
- A30.36 km
- B25.12 km
- C27.52 km
- D34.25 km
Correct answer
A. 30.36 km
Step-by-step solution
The maximum distance d up to which the TV transmission can be received from a tower of height h is given by the formula d = 2Rh , where R is the radius of the Earth. Given values are h = 72 m and R = 6.4 10^6 m . Substituting these values into the formula: d = 2 (6.4 10^6 m ) 72 m d = 12.8 10^6 72 d = 921.6 10^6 d = 921.6 10^3 m d = 30.3578 10^3 m d 30.36 km . Answer: 30.36 km
