In triangle ABC

tanθ = BC/AB

tanθ = x/2

taking derivative both side relative to "t"

sec²θ (dθ/dt) = (0.5) (dx/dt)

sec²θ w = (0.5) v                                eq-1

when x = 4 ,

tanθ = 4/2

θ = tan⁻¹ (2) = 63.4 deg

using eq-1

sec²θ w = (0.5) v  

sec²63.4 (3) (2pi/60) = (0.5) v  

v = 3.13 m/s

Diffrence between FMRI and MRI?
love history [14]
FMRI creates the images or brain maps of brain functioning by setting up and utilizing an advanced MRI scanner in such a way that increased blood flow to the activated areas of the brain shows up on the MRI scan. The MRI scanners do not actually detect blood flow or other metabolic processes.
