I was working on chapter 3 problem 19 in Physics by Giancoli (6th edition) and on step 2 I got stuck because when it gets to sin 2(theta) = 2.88 I don't know how to get theta. It says that it equals 0.4239 and I don't know how to get that answer. Then it goes right on to getting the answer for the angle and I don't understand how they got 2(theta) = 25. Can you please explain these to me?

I'm starting a Physics course which uses "Physics for Scientistsand Engineers 8th Edition". The most advanced Math I've taken isPrecalculus (functions and trig). I'm taking Cal 1 at the same timeas this Phys and would like to know if I should skip the Phys andwait until I've learned Cal. The Physics book consists of thefollowing:

Part 1: Mechanics
1 Physics & Measurement
2 Motion in One Dimension
3 Vectors
4 Motion in Two Dimensions
5 The Laws of Motion
6 Circular Motion & Other Applications or Newton's Law
7 Energy of a System
8 Conservation of Energy
9 Linear Momentum and Collisions
10 Rotation of a Rigid Object About a Fixed Axis
11 Angular Momentum
12 Static Equilibrium and Elasticity
13 Universal Gravitation
14 Fluid Mechanics

Part 2: Oscillations and Mechanical Waves

15 Oscillatory Motion
16 Wave Motion
17 Sound Waves
18 Superposition and Standing Waves

Part 3: Thermodynamics

19 Temperature
20 The First Law of Thermodynamics
21 The Kinetic Theory of Gases
22 Heat Engines, Entropy, and the Second Law ofThermodynamics

Sorry about the length but it's an important decision for me. Thankyou.

The problem is from the 8th edition Cutnell Physics book.Chapter 20, problem 76. My teacher is asking for an additionalcomponent to the problem and I'm not exactly sure how to solve forit.

The problem reads:

When a light bulb is connected across the terminals of abattery, the battery delivers 24 W of power to the bulb. A voltageof 11.8V exists between the terminals of the battery, which has aninternal resistance of 0.10O. What is the emf of the battery? Whatis the resistance of the lightbulb?

I have already solved for the emf, it is 12.0 V, and I knowthat the current is I=2.0338 A. I just need to know how to find thelightbulb's resistance. Thanks!
