13-14 Water flowing into trapezoidal trough

Problem 13
A trapezoidal trough is 10 ft long, 4 ft wide at the top, 2 ft wide at the bottom and 2 ft deep. If water flows in at 10 ft3/min, find how fast the surface is
rising, when the water is 6 in deep.
Solution 13

Volume of water:
1
V = [ 2 + (2 + 2x) ]y(10)
2

V = 20y + 10xy

From the figure:

x 1
=
y 2

1
x = y
2

2
V = 20y + 5y

dV dy dy
= 20 + 10y
dt dt dt

when y = 6 in or 0.5 ft
dy dy
10 = 20 + 10(0.5)
dt dt

dy
= 0.4  ft/min answer
dt

Problem 14
For the trough in Problem 13, how fast the water surface is rising when the water is 1 foot deep.

From the Solution 13
dV dy dy
= 20 + 10y
dt dt dt

When y = 1 ft
dV dy dy
= 20 + 10y
dt dt dt

dy dy
10 = 20 + 10(1)
dt dt

dy
=
1

 ft/min answer
dt
