8. A ship is anchored in 7.20 m of water. The anchor chain passes through an opening in the ship’s bow
3.60 m above the water surface. If the chain is pulled in at the rate of 75mm/sec, how fast is the ship
moving when 18m of chain are out?

9. Water is running into a hemispherical bowl having a radius of 10cm at a constant rate of 3cm3/min.
