the particle changing at the same rate?

Q2. Find an angle x which increases twice as fast as its sine.

2 m and volume is 8 m3 . If building of tank costs Rs 70 per square metre for the base and ₹ 45 per square
metre for sides. What is the cost of least expensive tank?

time the radius of the base.
