1. The radius of a right circular cone is increasing at the rate of
6 cm/sec while its altitude is decreasing at 3 cm/sec. Find the
rate of change of its volume when its radius is 8 cm and its
altitude is 20 cm.
2. A ladder 6 -m long leans against a vertical wall. The lower end
of the ladder is moved away from the wall at the rate of
2 m/min. Find the rate of change of the area formed by the
wall, the floor and the ladder when the lower end is 4 m from
the wall.

4. Water is running out of a conical tank 3 m across the top ang
4m deep at the rate of 2m? /min. Find the rate at which sya
level of water drops when it is 1 m from the top,
5. A reservoir is in the form of a frustrum of a cone with upp
base of radius 9 ft and lower base of radius 4 ft and altitude
of 10 ft. The water in the reservoir is x ft deep. If the level of
the water is increasing at 4 ft/min, how fast is the volume o
the water in the reservoir increasing when its depth is 2 1

6. At noon, ship A is sailing due east at the rate of 20 km/hr
At the same time, another ship B, 100 km east of ship A, i
sailing on a course 60° north of west at the rate of 10 km/hr.
How fast is the distance between them changing at the end
of one hr? When will the distance between them be least?"
7. A ship is sailing north at 22 km/hr, A second ship sailing
‘east at 16 km/hr crosses the path of the, first ship 85 km
ahead of it. How fast is the distance between them changing
one hour later? When are they closest together?
8. Two roads intersect at 60°. A car 10 miles from the junction
moves towards it at 30 mi/hr while a bus 10 miles from the
junction moves away from it at 60 mi/hr. Calculate the re
at which the distance between the vehicles is changing
the end of 20 min,
9. A bridge is 10 m above a railroad track and at right angles !°
it. A train running at the rate of 20 m/s passes under the
center of the bridge at the same instant that a car runniné
15 m/s reaches that: point. How rapidly are they separati"é
8 seconds later?

Sand is Poured at the rate of 10 m? /min so as to form a co-
nical pile whose altitude is always equal to the radius of its
base. Find the rate at which the area of its base is increasing

A trough whose cross section is an equilateral triangle is 6 m
long and 2 m wide across the top. If water is entering the
trough at 15 m*/min, at what rate is the water level rising in
the trough when it is three-fourths full?
Water is poured into an inverted conical cistern of altitude
12 ft and radius of base 5 ft. If the water level rises at 36
ft/min, find the rate at which the dry surface of the inside of
the cone is decreasing when the water is 4 ft deep.
A spherical iron ball 8 cm in diameter is coated with a layer
of ice of uniform thickness. If the ice melts at the uniform
rate of 10 cm? /min, how fast is the thickness decreasing at

Water flows out-of a hemispherical, tank at a rate which is 4
times the square root of its depth. If the radius of the tank is
8 ft, how fast is the water level falling when the water is 4 ft
deep? Hint: Use the formula for the volume of a spherical
segment, i. e. V = 3 h?(3r—h).
