Q1 Drawbridge : A drawbridge is a bridge that can be moved in order to stop or allow passage across it. Modern drawbridges are often built across large, busy waterways. They can be lifted to allow large ships to pass or lowered to allow land vehicles or pedestrians to crose. A drawbridge is 60 metre long when stretched across a river. As shown in the figure, the two sections of the bridge can be rotated upward through an angle of 30∘ (i) If the water level is 5 metre below the closed bridge, find the height h between the end of a section and the water level when the bridge is fully open. (ii) How far apart are the ends of the two sections when the bridge is fully opened, as shown in the figure?
