A machine is rolling a metal cylinder under pressure. The radius of the cylinder is decreasing at a constant rate of 0.05 inches

per second and the volume, V, is 128pi cubic inches. At what rate is the length, h, changing when the radius, r, is 1.5 inches? Note: V=pi(r^2)h
Hi, as above this is the problem I am doing. There is no answer given to check so I was wondering about a couple of things:

Is volume assumed to be a constant in this problem?

Is the height change decreasing (negative rate) or increasing (positive rate) in the final answer?

I worked out dh/dt to be 512/135 in./s

Yes, the volume of the cylinder will remain constant. As the radius decreases, the height will increase to make sure that the volume is kept the same.
We have been given a value of dr/dt and are required to find dh/dt
Because the volume is constant, we can plug it into the formula for the volume of the cylinder and rearrange it to make h the subject:
128 = πr²h
h = 128/πr²
Now we differentiate both sides:
dh/dr = -256/πr³
Applying the chain rule:
dh/dt = dh/dr x dr/dt
dh/dt = (-256/πr³) x -0.05
dh/dt = 64/5πr³; substituting the value of r
dh/dt = 64/5π(1.5)³
dh/dt = 1.21 in/sec

Mila [183]

Given :

A rope 6m long is fixed at one end, the other end is attached to a light string so that it is free to move.

The speed of waves on the rope is 18 m/s.

To Find :

The frequency of the second harmonic.

Solution :

We know, for second harmonic wave :

Wavelength = Length of rope

\lambda = L\\\\\lambda = 6 \ m

Now, we know frequency is given by :

Frequency = \dfrac{Speed}{Wavelenght}\\\\f = \dfrac{18 \ m/s}{6\ m}\\\\f = 3 \ s^{-1}

Therefore, the frequency of the second harmonic is 3 s⁻¹.

Find the velocity, acceleration, and speed of a particle with the given position function. r(t) = t i + t2 j + 3 k v(t) = a(t) =
stepladder [879]

Answer:

Velocity

v= i + 2  j

Acceleration

a= 2 j

Explanation:

Given that

r(t) = t i + t² j + 3 k

We know that

Velocity v given as

v= dr/dt

dr/dt= i + 2 t j +0

v= i + 2 t j

At t= 1

v= i + 2 x 1 j

v= i + 2  j

Acceleration ,a

a=  dv/dt

v= i + 2 t j

dv/dt= 2 j

a= 2 j

Why is thermal energy produced not generally usable to do work?
zhuklara [117]
The ability of thermal energy to dissipate too quickly and not get concentrated makes it not suitable for doing work. In addition, thermal energy comes from the rapid movement of particles in which it is directly proportional. Therefore, the faster the particle movement, more heat or thermal energy is generated.

Six dogs pull a two-person sled with a total mass of 280 kg. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sled and the snow i
alisha [4.7K]

total mass M= 280 kg

<span>The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sled and the snow  = 0.080</span>

The sled acceleration a =0.65 m/s2

Initial speed u = 0

cruising speed v = 15 km/h.

= 15 (1000m/3600s) = 4.166 m/s

(A ). The team's maximum power output during the acceleration phase P = ?

Net force Ma = Applied force - fricitonal force

<span>= F - Mg</span>

<span>From this F = Ma +Mg</span>

<span>= M(a+g)</span>

= 280(0.65+(0.08x9.8))

= 401.52 N

So, P = Fv

= 401.52 x 4.166

= 1,672.7323 W
