Results

This video explains the angles of elevation and depression.

In this unit you will learn:

• About the turning effect of forces
• Turning effects are called moments
• Understand that regular and irregular shaped objects have a centre of gravity
• An objects centre of gravity determines if it is in a stable, neutral, or unstable equilibrium

By the end of this unit you will be able to:

• Define and use the trigonometric ratios of cosθ, sinθ and tanθ.
• Calculate the trigonometric ratios in each quadrant of the Cartesian plane.
• Calculate the value of expressions containing trigonometric ratios.
