The TV transmission tower at a particular place has a height of 160 m. What is the coverage range? By how much should the height be increased to double it's coverage range? Given that the radius of earth=6400 km.

Answer»

SOLUTION :d =`sqrt(2Rh)`,
Given R = 6400 KM `= 6400xx10^3m, H = 160 m`
`d=sqrt(2xx6400xx10^3xx160` For the FIRST case `d_1^2proph_1,d_2^2proph_2`
`thereforeh_2/h_1=d_2^2/d_1^2=(2)^2=4`
or `h_2=4h_1=4xx160=640m`
