358 - Don't Have A Cow

[..]

Can anyone give me some sample I/O?
I try to solve it by bisection (because I can't find a formula of the required area)

here is output of my program:
R = 100, P = 0.33, Rope = 90.64
R = 100, P = 0.10, Rope = 47.16
R = 1, P = 0.00, Rope = 0.00
R = 1, P = 0.33, Rope = 0.91
R = 1, P = 0.50, Rope = 1.16
R = 1000, P = 0.00, Rope = 0.00
R = 1000, P = 0.33, Rope = 906.36
R = 1000, P = 0.50, Rope = 1158.73

Is there any trick with this question? Especially any trick on the rounding??

I resolve the problem with a diferent method and i get the same answer that you.. So i ant help u. Im in the same situation that u

[..]

hi, I already solved this question, do you need any help?

[ithamar]

I resove this problem solving this equation:

4x * Cos(x) * Cos(x) + pi * (1- p) - 2x - Sin(2*x) = 0.

x is the angle that form the Radio of the circle and the cord that is formed by the cow rope. With x is easy to deduce what is teh value of the Rope length. I solve the above equation using Newton-Ramson and my results are the same that your results so i dont see what is wrong. There is another special case besides p = 0. ?. Do u think that could be that Newton-Ramson is losing the solution so i beter implement Bisection?

Thanxs for the help.

[..]

hm.....I forget how Newton-Ramson method is, I use bisection to solve it.
When I use bisection, I have a "target area", and I want to find "rope length" such that f(rope_length) = target area

The trick is:
target area should be calculated by PI = 3.14159
But when I calculate f(x), I need to use PI = acos(0)*2

I don't know if this fits on you, but I know some other people can get accepted by using similar way......

Good luck!

I sent the solution several times but got W.A. I don't know what's the wrong with my solution. I think it's for floating point error!!! Can anyone tell me exactly what is the required O/P for the problem. I'm confused with
the input for P. Is the O/P for P also should be correct to 2 decimal point? Please help me.

At last I've got Accepted

ouput P should be correct to 2 decimal point ..that is, if in C, use %.2lf

NEVER GIVE UP !

i got the following results from my program are they ok ?
cos i'm getting a W.A. :
R = 100, P = 0.33, Rope = 38.38
R = 100, P = 0.10, Rope = 13.04
R = 100, P = 0.50, Rope = 55.48

i started by calculating the area of the intersecting circles formed by the rope and the pasture and used the bisection method to get the accurate rope length.
i have a pile of papers on which i have derived the formulas

[ashutoshkorde]

oh illustrous one ...
can u please explain how u did it ?

Can any one supply me some sample i/o of problem 358 pls......

Your Output is not correct. My AC program gives the following output:

R = 100, P = 0.33, Rope = 90.64
R = 100, P = 0.10, Rope = 47.16
R = 100, P = 0.50, Rope = 115.87

[Faizur]

Code: Select all

#include<stdio.h>
#include<math.h>
#define pi  3.14159
double p;
double fn(double x)
{
	return 4*x*cos(x)*cos(x)+pi*(1-p)-2*x-sin(2*x);
}
int main()
{
	double x1,x2,x3,y1,y2,y3,r,R;

		while(scanf("%lf%lf",&r,&p)==2)
		{
			x1=pi/2;
			x3=0;
			while(fabs(x3-x1)>0.00000000000001)
			{
				x2=(x1-x3)/2.0+x3;
				y2=fn(x2);
				if(y2<0.00000000000001)
					x1=x2;
				else 
					x3=x2;
				if(fabs(y2)<0.00000000000001)
				    {x1=x2;break;}

			}
			R=2*r*cos(x1);
			printf("R = %.lf, P = %.2lf, Rope = %.2lf\n",r,p,R);

		}

	return 0;
}

This program make me crazy.i applied bisection method.
but alas i am continuously getting WA with the above code .
Can anyone help me with some sample i/o.
Any suggestion will be very much helpful

This is Blue ticked problem.
This means that, the first line of input file is an integer indicating the number of test cases to follow.
