Exam 2 Review Guide for MTH 141

Note: As SI leaders we do not see the exam nor know what is on the exam. This is just a
guide for practice. Other sources of practice include the course guide, course website,
problems from the book, math walk in tutoring, AEC tutoring, Khan Academy,
Mathematica and professor office hours. Good Luck!

Problem 3. A jug of water is dropped on the floor, creating a growing circular puddle. When the radius of
the puddle is 150 cm, the radius is increasing at a rate of 0.1 cm per minute. At that moment, how fast is
the area of the puddle expanding?





Problem 4. A ladder 20 feet long leans against a house. If the bottom of the ladder slides away from the
house horizontally at a rate of 4 ft/sec, how fast is the ladder sliding down the house when the top of the
ladder is 8 feet from the ground?






Problem 5. A tank of water in the shape of a cone pointing downwards is leaking water at a constant rate
of

. The base radius of the tank is 5 ft and the height of the tank is 14 ft. (Note: Volume of a
cone is equal to

)
(a) At what rate is the depth of the water in the tank changing when the depth of the water is 6 ft?
(b) At what rate is the radius of the top of the water in the tank changing when the depth of the water is 6
ft?
