ILLUSTRATIVE
EXAMPLES
1. Water is flowing into a vertical
cylindrical tank at the rate of 24 cu. ft.
per min. If the radius of the tank is 4
ft., how fast is the surface rising?

Solution:
2. A triangular trough is 10 ft. long, 6 ft.
across the top, and 3 ft. deep. If
water flows in at a rate of 12 cu. ft.
per min., find how fast the surface is
rising when the water is 6 in. deep.

Solution:
3. A ladder 20 ft. long leans against a
vertical wall. If the top slides
downward at the rate of 2 ft. per sec.,
find how fast the lower end is moving
when it is 16 ft. from the wall.

Solution:
4. A ladder 15 ft. long leans against a
vertical wall. If the top slides down at
2 ft./sec, how fast is the angle of
elevation of the ladder decreasing,
when the lower end is 12 ft. from the
wall?

Solution:
Another possible solution:
5. A balloon, leaving the ground 60 ft
from an observer, rises 10 ft/sec. How
fast is the angle of elevation of the
line of sight increasing, after 8
seconds?

Solution:
6. A kite is 60 ft high with 100 ft of cord
out. If the kite is moving horizontally 4
mi/hr directly away from the boy
flying it, find the rate of change of the
angle of elevation of the cord.

Solution:
Another possible solution:
7. A ship, moving at 8 mi/hr, sails east
for 2 hr, then turns N 30° W. A
searchlight, placed at the starting
point, follows the ship. Find how fast
the light is rotating, (a) 3 hr after the
start; (b) just after the turn.

Solution:
