It will take them 10 hours to paint the house together

If Mercedes alone could paint the house in 8 hours, we would expect that both painting together would take less than 8 hours.
In 1 hour: Dorie would paint 1/12 of the house, while Mercedes would paint 1/8. This is a total of 1/12 + 1/8 = 5/24. If they can combine to paint 5/24 of the house in 1 hour, then the total time for the whole house would be
1 / (5/24) = 24/5 = 4.8 hours or 4 4/5 hours

A giant tank in a shape of an inverted cone is filled with oil. the height of the tank is 1.5 metre and its radius is 1 metre. t

skad [1K]

The given height of the cylinder of 1.5 m, and radius of 1 m, and the rate

of dripping of 110 cm³/s gives the following values.

1) The rate of change of the oil's radius when the radius is 0.5 m is r' ≈ <u>9.34 × 10⁻⁵ m/s</u>

2) The rate of change of the oil's height when the height is 20 cm is h' ≈ <u>1.97 × 10⁻³ m/s</u>

3) The rate the oil radius is changing when the radius is 10 cm is approximately <u>0.175 m/s</u>

<h3>How can the rate of change of the radius & height be found?</h3>

The given parameters are;

Height of the tank, h = 1.5 m

Radius of the tank, r = 1 m

Rate at which the oil is dripping from the tank = 110 cm³/s = 0.00011 m³/s

$1) \hspace{0.15 cm}V = \frac{1}{3} \cdot \pi \cdot r^2 \cdot h$

From the shape of the tank, we have;

$\dfrac{h}{r} = \dfrac{1.5}{1}$

Which gives;

h = 1.5·r

$V = \mathbf{\frac{1}{3} \cdot \pi \cdot r^2 \cdot (1.5 \cdot r)}$

$\dfrac{d}{dr} V =\dfrac{d}{dr} \left( \dfrac{1}{3} \cdot \pi \cdot r^2 \cdot (1.5 \cdot r)\right) = \dfrac{3}{2} \cdot \pi \cdot r^2$

$\dfrac{dV}{dt} = \dfrac{dV}{dr} \times \dfrac{dr}{dt}$

$\dfrac{dr}{dt} = \mathbf{\dfrac{\dfrac{dV}{dt} }{\dfrac{dV}{dr} }}$

$\dfrac{dV}{dt} = 0.00011$

Which gives;

$\dfrac{dr}{dt} = \mathbf{ \dfrac{0.00011 }{\dfrac{3}{2} \cdot \pi \cdot r^2}}$

When r = 0.5 m, we have;

$\dfrac{dr}{dt} = \dfrac{0.00011 }{\dfrac{3}{2} \times\pi \times 0.5^2} \approx 9.34 \times 10^{-5}$

The rate of change of the oil's radius when the radius is 0.5 m is r' ≈ <u>9.34 × 10⁻⁵ m/s</u>

2) When the height is 20 cm, we have;

h = 1.5·r

$r = \dfrac{h}{1.5}$

$V = \mathbf{\frac{1}{3} \cdot \pi \cdot \left(\dfrac{h}{1.5} \right) ^2 \cdot h}$

r = 20 cm ÷ 1.5 = $13.\overline3$ cm = $0.1\overline3$ m

Which gives;

$\dfrac{dr}{dt} = \dfrac{0.00011 }{\dfrac{3}{2} \times\pi \times 0.1 \overline{3}^2} \approx \mathbf{1.313 \times 10^{-3}}$

$\dfrac{d}{dh} V = \dfrac{d}{dh} \left(\dfrac{4}{27} \cdot \pi \cdot h^3 \right) = \dfrac{4 \cdot \pi \cdot h^2}{9}$

$\dfrac{dV}{dt} = \dfrac{dV}{dh} \times \dfrac{dh}{dt}$

$\dfrac{dh}{dt} = \dfrac{\dfrac{dV}{dt} }{\dfrac{dV}{dh} }$ <em />

$\dfrac{dh}{dt} = \mathbf{\dfrac{0.00011}{\dfrac{4 \cdot \pi \cdot h^2}{9}}}$

When the height is 20 cm = 0.2 m, we have;

$\dfrac{dh}{dt} = \dfrac{0.00011}{\dfrac{4 \times \pi \times 0.2^2}{9}} \approx \mathbf{1.97 \times 10^{-3}}$

The rate of change of the oil's height when the height is 20 cm is h' ≈ <u>1.97 × 10⁻³ m/s</u>

3) The volume of the slick, V = π·r²·h

Where;

h = The height of the slick = 0.1 cm = 0.001 m

Therefore;

V = 0.001·π·r²

$\dfrac{dV}{dr} = \mathbf{ 0.002 \cdot \pi \cdot r}$

$\dfrac{dr}{dt} = \mathbf{\dfrac{0.00011 }{0.002 \cdot \pi \cdot r}}$

When the radius is 10 cm = 0.1 m, we have;

$\dfrac{dr}{dt} = \dfrac{0.00011 }{0.002 \times \pi \times 0.1} \approx \mathbf{0.175}$

The rate the oil radius is changing when the radius is 10 cm is approximately <u>0.175 m</u>
