Question 1: If a parabolic reflector is 20 cm in diameter and 5 cm deep, find its focus. Question 2: An arch is in the form of a parabola with its axis vertical. The arch is 10 m high and 5 m wide at the base. How wide is it 2 m from the vertex of the parabola? Question 3: The cable of a uniformly loaded suspension bridge hangs in the form of a parabola. The roadway which is horizontal and 100 m long is supported by vertical wires attached to the cable, the longest wire being 30 m and the shortest being 6 m. Find the length of a supporting wire attached to the roadway 18 m from the middle. Question 4: An arch is in the form of a semi-ellipse. It is 8 m wide and 2 m high at the centre. Find the height of the arch at a point 1.5 m from one end. Question 5: A rod of length 12 cm moves with its ends always touching the coordinate axes. Determine the equation of the locus of a point P on the rod, which is 3 cm from the end in contact with the x-axis. Question 6: Find the area of the triangle formed by the lines joining the vertex of parabola x^2=12y to the ends of its latus rectum. Question 7: A man running a racecourse notes that the sum of the distances from the two flag posts from him is always 10 m and the distance between the flag posts is 8 m. Find the equation of the posts traced by the man. Question 8: An equilateral triangle is inscribed in the parabola y^2=4ax, where one vertex is at the vertex of the parabola. Find the length of the side of the triangle.
