Gravel is being dumped from a conveyor belt at a rate of 20 ft3/min, and its coarseness is such that it forms a pile in the shap

e of a cone whose base diameter and height are always equal. How fast is the height of the pile increasing when the pile is 10 ft high? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Answer:

0.25 feet per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

Gravel is being dumped from a conveyor belt at a rate of 20 ft3/min. Since we are told that the shape formed is a cone, the rate of change of the volume of the cone.

\dfrac{dV}{dt}=20$ ft^3/min

\text{Volume of a cone}=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h

Since base diameter = Height of the Cone

Radius of the Cone = h/2

Therefore,

\text{Volume of the cone}=\dfrac{\pi h}{3} (\dfrac{h}{2}) ^2 \\V=\dfrac{\pi h^3}{12}

\text{Rate of Change of the Volume}, \dfrac{dV}{dt}=\dfrac{3\pi h^2}{12}\dfrac{dh}{dt}

Therefore: \dfrac{3\pi h^2}{12}\dfrac{dh}{dt}=20

We want to determine how fast is the height of the pile is increasing when the pile is 10 feet high.

h=10$ feet$\\\\\dfrac{3\pi *10^2}{12}\dfrac{dh}{dt}=20\\25\pi \dfrac{dh}{dt}=20\\ \dfrac{dh}{dt}= \dfrac{20}{25\pi}\\ \dfrac{dh}{dt}=0.25$ feet per minute (to two decimal places.)

When the pile is 10 feet high, the height of the pile is increasing at a rate of 0.25 feet per minute

A cardboard sheet is cut in the shape of a triangle, with vertices at (0,0), (20,0), and (3,4) units. the thickness of the sheet
kenny6666 [7]
This problem can be solved in two ways, the long way, or the short way.

1. The long way
We know that the base of the triangle is along the x-axis, and the length of the base is 20.
The centre of mass is located at 2/3 of the distance from vertex (3,4) along the median, which cuts the base at (10,0).
Therefore the centre of mass is located at
x=3+(10-3)*2/3=23/3
y=4/3

2. The short way
It turns out that the centre of mass of a triangle sheet is located at the mean of the coordinates of the three vertices, i.e.
CG=((0+20+3)/3, (0+0+4)/3)=(23/3, 4/3)  as before.

zaharov [31]

Answer:

0.075 inches per year

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change is measured as

( difference in diameter ) ÷ ( difference in years )

= ( 251 - 248 ) ÷ ( 2005 - 1965 )

= 3 inches ÷ 40 years

= 0.075 inches per year

Solve independent system equations for: <br><br>5x-9y=-65<br>10x-3y=20<br>x=?<br>y=?<br>​
Sergio039 [100]
5x-9y=-65
10x-3y=20

Multiple the first equation by 2
10x-18y=-130
10x -3y=20
Then subtract the two equations to get rid of the x

21y=-150
Divide the -150 by 21
Y=-7.14

Plug the y into the original equation. (Either one)

5x-9(-7.14)=-65
5x-64.28=-65
Then add 64.28 to the -65
5x=-0.72
Divide by 5
X=-0.144

I hope this is right
