Q:

18.67 cm part of the 53 cm long wire given in the figure above is twisted from one end and 12.46 cm part from the other end, then the bent parts are completely overlapped According to this, how many centimeters will the distance between the end points of the curved parts be in the last case?

Accepted Solution

A:
To calculate the distance between the end points of the curved parts, we need to find the total length of the bent parts. Given that a 18.67 cm part is twisted from one end and a 12.46 cm part is twisted from the other end, the total length of the bent parts is the sum of these two lengths: Total length of bent parts = 18.67 cm + 12.46 cm = 31.13 cm Now, if the bent parts are completely overlapped, the distance between the end points of the curved parts will be equal to the total length of the bent parts, which is 31.13 cm.
