A trough is 8 feet long and has perpendicular cross section in the shape of an isosceles triangle (point down) with base 1 foot

and height 2 feet. The trough is being filled with water at a rate of 1 cubic foot every 5 minutes. How fast is the water level rising whenthe water is 1/2 foot deep?

Answer:

Dh/dt  = 0.082 ft/min

Step-by-step explanation:

As a perpendicular cross section of the trough is in the shape of an isosceles triangle the trough has a circular cone shape wit base of  1 feet and height     h = 2 feet.

The volume of a circular cone is:

V(c)  = 1/3 * π*r²*h

Then differentiating on both sides of the equation we get:

DV(c)/dt   = 1/3* π*r² * Dh/dt   (1)

We know that DV(c) / dt   is  1 ft³ / 5 min      or     1/5  ft³/min

and  we are were asked how fast is the water rising when the water is 1/2 foot deep. We need to know what is the value of r at that moment

By proportion we know

r/h  ( at the top of the cone  0,5/ 2)   is equal to  r/0.5  when water is 1/2 foot deep

Then      r/h   =   0,5/2   =  r/0.5

r  =  (0,5)*( 0.5) / 2        ⇒   r  =  0,125 ft

Then in equation (1) we got

(1/5) / 1/3* π*r² =  Dh/dt

Dh/dt  = 1/ 5*0.01635

Dh/dt  = 0.082 ft/min

How manys days makes a leap year?​
dem82 [27]

Answer: In an ordinary year, if you were to count all the days in a calendar from January to December, you'd count 365 days. But approximately every four years, February has 29 days instead of 28. So, there are 366 days in the year. This is called a leap year.
