Para encontrar el ángulo de inclinación de la cometa con respecto al suelo horizontal podemos utilizar la trigonometría. Específicamente, usaremos la función seno, que relaciona el lado opuesto (la altura de la cometa) con la hipotenusa (la longitud de la cuerda).
Dado:
Altura de la cometa, h=25m
Longitud de la cuerda, s=50m
Requerido:
Ángulo de inclinación \theta
Fórmula:
\sin\theta=\frac{opp}{hyp}=\frac{h}{s}
Solución:
\sin\theta=\frac{h}{s}=\frac{25m}{50m}=\frac{1}{2}
Resuelve el ángulo \theta
\theta=\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)=30\grado
El ángulo de inclinación es de 30 grados.
