TIME RATES

 Time Rates
If a quantity x is a function of time t, the
time rate of change of x is given by dx/dt.
 When two or more quantities, all functions
of t, are related by an equation, the
relation between their rates of change
may be obtained by differentiating both
sides of the equation with respect to t.
STEPS
1. Draw a figure when necessary
2. Define the given values
3. Formulate Equations
4. Differentiate with respect to time
5. Substitute the condition/s to the
equation
 Problem 01
Water is flowing into a vertical cylindrical
tank at the rate of 24 ft3/min. If the
radius of the tank is 4 ft, how fast is the
surface rising?
 Problem 02
Water flows into a vertical cylindrical tank
at 12 ft3/min, the surface rises 6 in/min.
Find the radius of the tank.
 Problem 03
A rectangular trough is 10 ft long and 3 ft
wide. Find how fast the surface rises, if
water flows in at the rate of 12 ft3/min.
