When a foreign object lodged in the trachea (windpipe) forces a person to cough, the diaphragm thrusts
Question:
V(r) = k(r0 - r)r2............1/2r0 ≤ r ≤ r0
where is a constant and r0 is the normal radius of the trachea. The restriction on is due to the fact that the tracheal wall stiffens under pressure and a contraction greater than 1/2 r0 is prevented (otherwise the person would suffocate).
(a) Determine the value of r in the interval [1/2r0, r0] at which v has an absolute maximum. How does this compare with experimental evidence?
(b) What is the absolute maximum value of on the interval?
(c) Sketch the graph of on the interval [0, r0].
