A TV tower has a height of 20 m and the radius of earth is \(6.4 \times 10^6 m\). The range of the tower is:

  1. A 32 km
  2. B 16 km
  3. C 40 km
  4. D \(40 \sqrt{2} km\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 16 km

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(d = \sqrt{2hR}\) \(d = \sqrt{2 \times 20 \text{ m} \times 6.4 \times 10^6 \text{ m}}\) \(d = \sqrt{256 \times 10^6 \text{ m}^2}\) \(d = 16 \times 10^3 \text{ m}\) \(d = 16 \text{ km}\)
