Question

A circular ripple in a pond is produced when a rock is dropped into the water. If the outer radius of the ripple is expanding at a rate of 24 cm/sec, at what rate is the area of the circular ripple changing when the radius is 80 cm. ?

Answer 1

do we know of a relation that relates these?

Answer 2

radius to area

Answer 3

you said you needed help right?

Answer 4

no i dnt kno the relation

Answer 5

Hmm, would you agree that the area of a circle is determined by the equation: pi r^2 ?

Answer 6

yes and the derivative of that is pi*2r

Answer 7

correct, except for we need to include an r' for the rate of the change of the radius

Answer 8

\[A = pi\ r^2\]
\[A' = 2pi\ r\ r'\]

Answer 9

r' is told to us to be 24, and the radius = 80

Answer 10

A' = 2pi * 2 * 80 then

Answer 11

that 2 meant 24

Answer 12

my keyboard hates me

Answer 13

lol i understood what you mean ... but when i did all that i qot 12063.71579

Answer 14

right, cm per sec

Answer 15

A 14 foot ladder is leaning on a wall, slowly sliding down. If the base of the ladder is sliding away from the wall at 1.3 ft/second, how fast is the top sliding vertically along the wall when the bottom of the ladder is 9 feet from the wall? do i approach it the same way ?
