330 km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

To find speed of the plane against the headwind;

600 km / 2 hours = 300 km/hr

Speed of plane with the wind in its back;

600 km / 5/3 hours = 600 * 3/5 = 360 km/hr

We can create a simultaneous equation from this data.

Assume the speed on pane in still air is x km/h

Assume the speed of wind is y km/h

Therefore;

x – y = 300

x + y = 360

Solving the simultaneous equation by elimination gives us;

x – y = 300

-

x + y = 360

=

-2y = - 60

y = 30

x = 330

The speed of the plane without wind is;

= 330 km/hr

The wind speed is;

= 30 km/hr

The radius of the base of a cylinder is increasing at a rate of 7 millimeters per hour. The height of the cylinder is fixed at 1
Ilya [14]

Answer:

The rate of change of the volume of the cylinder at that instant = 791.28\ mm^3/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Rate of increase of base of radius of base of cylinder = 7 mm/hr

Height of cylinder = 1.5 mm

Radius at a certain instant = 12 mm

To find rate of change of volume of cylinder at that instant.

Solution:

Let r represent radius of base of cylinder at any instant.

Rate of increase of base of radius of base of cylinder can be given as:

\frac{dr}{dt}=7\ mm/hr

Volume of cylinder is given by:

V=\pi\ r^2h

Finding derivative of the Volume with respect to time.

\frac{dV}{dt}=\pi\ h\ 2r\frac{dr}{dt}

Plugging in the values given:

\frac{dV}{dt}=\pi\ (1.5)\ 2(12)(7)

\frac{dV}{dt}=252\pi

Using \pi=3.14

\frac{dV}{dt}=252(3.14)

\frac{dV}{dt}=791.28\ mm^3/hr (Answer)

Thus rate of change of the volume of the cylinder at that instant = 791.28\ mm^3/hr
