    Answer on Question #64601 – Math – Calculus

    Question

    Q1. The height of a rectangular box is increasing at a rate of 2 meters per second
    while the volume is decreasing at a rate of 5 cubic meters per second. If the base
    of the box is a square, at what rate is one of the sides of the base decreasing, at the
    moment when the base area is 64 square meters and the height is 8 meters?

    Solution
    The volume of the box with the square base is
    𝑉 = ℎ ⋅ 𝑏2.
    The rate of change of volume equal to its time derivative
    𝑑𝑉
    = 𝑉′.
    𝑑𝑡
    Find the rate of changing of the box volume:
    𝑉′ = (ℎ ⋅ 𝑏 2 )′ = ℎ′ ⋅ 𝑏 2 + 2ℎ𝑏𝑏′
    (here we used product rule
    (𝑓(𝑥) ⋅ 𝑔(𝑥)) = 𝑓′(𝑥) ⋅ 𝑔(𝑥) + 𝑓(𝑥) ⋅ 𝑔′(𝑥)
    and chain rule
    ′
    (𝑓(𝑔(𝑥))) = 𝑓′(𝑔(𝑥))𝑔′(𝑥) )
    Find the rate of changing of the base side 𝑏′
    𝑉′ = ℎ′ ⋅ 𝑏 2 + 2ℎ𝑏𝑏′=>2ℎ𝑏𝑏′ = 𝑉′ − ℎ′ ⋅ 𝑏 2 =>𝑏′ = (𝑉′ − ℎ′ ⋅ 𝑏 2 )⁄2ℎ𝑏
    where ℎ′ = 2 𝑚/𝑠is the rate of the box height increasing, 𝑉′ = −5𝑚3 /𝑠 is the rate
    of the box volume decreasing (minus sign indicates a decrease in volume)
    𝑏 = √64 = 8. Plug given values into
    𝑏′ = (𝑉′ − ℎ′ ⋅ 𝑏 2 )⁄2ℎ𝑏
    we get
    −5 − 2 ⋅ 64 5 + 128
    𝑏′ = =− ≈ −1.04𝑚/𝑠
    2⋅8⋅8 128
    (minus sign indicates a decrease in base side).
    Answer: rate of the base side decreasing is 𝑏′ ≈ −1.04𝑚/𝑠.

    Question

    Q2. Sand is pouring out of a tube at 1 cubic meter per second. It forms a pile which
    has the shape of a cone. The height of the cone is equal to the radius of the circle
    at its base. How fast is the sandpile rising when it is 2 meters high?
    Solution
    The volume of the cone is equal to
    1
    𝑉 = 𝜋𝑅2 ℎ,
    3
    where 𝑅 is the radius of the circle at its base, ℎ is the height of the cone. Since by
    assumption of task the height of the cone is equal to the radius of the circle, i.e.
    𝑅 = ℎ, then
    1 1
    𝑉 = 𝜋ℎ3 = 𝜋𝑅3 .
    3 3
    The rate of change of volume equal to its time derivative
    𝑑𝑉
    = 𝑉′.
    𝑑𝑡
    Find the rate of change of the volume of the sandpile:
    1 ′ 1
    𝑉′ = ( 𝜋ℎ3 ) = 𝜋 ⋅ 3ℎ2 ℎ′ = 𝜋ℎ2 ℎ′ = 𝜋ℎ2 𝑅′.
    3 3
    Then the rate of increase in the height and radius of the cone is
    ℎ′ = 𝑅′ = 𝑉 ′ /𝜋ℎ2
    Plug given values (𝑉′ = 1 𝑚3 /sec and ℎ = 2 𝑚) into last formula, we get the
    rate of increase in the height and radius of the cone
    1
    ℎ′ = 𝑅′ = ≈ 0,08 m/sec = 8 cm/sec.
    4𝜋
    Answer: the rate of increase of height and radius of the sandpile when it is 2
    meters high, is ℎ′ = 𝑅′ = 0,08 m/sec = 8 cm/sec.

    Question

    Q3. A water tank is in the shape of a cone with vertical axis and vertex downward.
    The tank has radius 3 m and is 5 m high. At first the tank is full of water, but at time
    t = 0 (in seconds), a small hole at the vertex is opened and the water begins to drain.
    When the height of water in the tank has dropped to 3 m, the water is flowing out
    at 2 m3/s. At what rate, in meters per second, is the water level dropping then?
    Solution
    Volume of a cone is
    1
    𝑉 = 𝜋𝑅2 ℎ
    3
    where 𝑅 is the radius of the cone, ℎ is the height. We know height of the cone and
    radius of the cone at the top so we can find the radius for the any height using a
    proportion of similar triangles. The ratio of the height of the tank to the radius:
    𝑅 3
    =
    ℎ 5
    When the height of the water is h meters the radius is:
    3
    𝑅= ℎ
    5
    1
    Plug this into the 𝑉 = 𝜋𝑅2 ℎ, we get
    3
    1 3 2 3𝜋 3
    𝑉 = 𝜋 ( ℎ) ℎ = ℎ
    3 5 25
    𝑑𝑉
    The rate of change of volume equal to its time derivative = 𝑉′
    𝑑𝑡
    Take derivative of each side
    9𝜋 2
    𝑉′ = ℎ ℎ′
    25
    Plug numbers:
    9𝜋 2 ′
    𝑉′ = 3 ℎ = 2m3 /sec
    25
    Then
    2 ∙ 25
    ℎ′ = ≈ 0.2m/sec
    81𝜋

    Answer: the rate of decreasing water level is ℎ′ ≈ 0.2m/sec.
