Differentiatin
g Quantities with respect to Time TIME RATES Example 1
Suppose that x and y
are both differentiable functions of t and are related by the equation Find dy/dt when x = 3, given that dx/dt = 8 when Example 2 The top of a ladder 10 meters long rests on a vertical wall of a residential building while the bottom rests on a horizontal ground. If the top slides down at the rate of 20 meters per minute, how fast is the lower end moves along the ground when the lower end is 8 meters from the wall ? A girl is using a straw to drink Sprite from a right cylindrical glass at the rate of 6 cubic centimeters per second. Example 3 If the height of the glass is 12 centimeters and the diameter is 6 centimeters, how fast is the level of Sprite falling at a constant rate ? Example 4 An oil spilled from a ruptured tanker spreads in a circular ripple whose radius increases at a constant rate of 2 meters per minute. How fast is the area of the spill increasing wnen the radius of the spill is 20 meters. Example 5 A man is flying a kite. He holds the string 1.5 meters above level ground , and the string is paid out at the rate of 2 meters per second as the kite moves horizontally at an altitude of 51.5 meters. Assuming there is no sag in the string , find the rate at which the kite is moving horizontally when there are 80 meters of cord out ? Exercise 1 A pole 12 meters long is leaning against a vertical wall of a building. If the foot of the pole is being pulled away from the wall at the rate of 2 meters per minute, how fast is the top of the pole sliding down the wall at the instant when the foot of the pole is 5 meters from the wall ? Exercise 2 Aman on a wharf 12 meters above the level of water is pulling a rope tied to a boat at the rate of 2 meters per minute . How fast is the boat approaching the wharf when there are 20 meters of rope ? Exercise 3 The radius of sphere is increasing at the rate of 2 meters per second. Find the rate of change of the volume with respect to time t when r = 4 meters. THANK YOU
