RELATED RATES / TIME RATES
March 16 – 20, 2020
In solving Time Rate Problems, it is important to observe that all quantities which change with
respect to time must be denoted by letters. Do not substitute the numerical values of such
variable until after differentiation with respect to time t is done.
Example 1
Oil flows into a vertical cylindrical tank at 500 [Link]/sec. The oil rises at 0.15 cm/sec.
Determine the diameter of the tank in cm.
