Sliding Ladder (11 points)
A 13 ft ladder rests against the side of the house. When the base of the ladder is 12 ft away from the base of the house, it is moving with a velocity of 3ftsec away from the house.
Determine:
a) how fast the top of the ladder is moving (7 points)
b) the rate at which the area under the ladder is changing (4 points).
The Melting Snowball (7 points)
Suppose a spherical snowball is melting and the radius is decreasing at a constant rate, changing from 15 inches to 9 inches in 30 minutes. How fast was the volume changing when the radius was 11 inches?
Angle of Elevation (7 points)
A camera a ground level is filming the lift-off of a space shuttle that is rising vertically according to the position equation s=50t2, where s is measured in feet and t is measured in seconds. The camera is 2500 feet from the launch pad. Find the rate of change in the angle of elevation of the camera at 10 seconds after lift-off.
Hole Lotta Can (7 points)
An aluminum cylindrical can full of a liquid has sprung a leak of 10in3(min). The can has a height of 10 in . and a diameter of 4 in . How fast is the height of the liquid falling?
Flying a Kite (7 points)
A kite is moving horizontally with a speed of 7(m)sec at an altitude of 30 m . Determine how fast the string is being let out when the kite is 50 m from the kite flyer.
Leaking Sand (7 points)
As sand leaks out of hole in a container, it forms a conical pile whose altitude is always the same as the radius. If the height of the pile is increasing at a rate of 6inmin, find the rate at which the sand is leaking out when the altitude is 12 inches.
