Expert Answer
k
Let O be the centre of the balloon of radius r and P the eye of the observer. Let PA and PB be tangents from P to the balloon. .
Therefore,
Let OL be perpendicular from O to the horizontal.
In ∆OAP,
sin =
OP= r cosec…(i)
In ∆OPL,
sinф =
OL=OP sinф
OL = r sinф cosec (from (i))
Thus, the height of the centre of the balloon is r sinф cosec.
