The temperature at a point (x, y) on a flat metal plate is given by T(x, y) = 45/(6 + x2 + y2), where T is measured in °C and x,

y in meters. Find the rate of change of temperature with respect to distance at the point (3, 1) in the x-direction and the y-direction. (a) the x-direction °C/m (b) the y-direction °C/m

Answer:

Change in x direction is -1.054^{o}C

Change in y direction is -0.35^{o}C

Explanation:

The temperature is given by we need to find gradient of temperature to obtain the rate of change thus

T(x,y)=\frac{45}{6+x^{2}+y^{2}}\\\\\therefore \bigtriangledown T(x,y)=\frac{\partial T(x,y)}{\partial x} \widehat{i}+\frac{\partial T(x,y)}{\partial y} \widehat{j}\\\\\frac{\partial T(x,y)}{\partial x}=\frac{-45}{(6+x^{2}+y^{2})^{2}}\times 2x\widehat{i}\\\\\frac{\partial T(x,y)}{\partial y}=\frac{-45}{(6+x^{2}+y^{2})^{2}}\times 2y\widehat{j}\\\\

Now the rate of change at (3,1) in

1) X direction is given by

\frac{\partial T(3,1)}{\partial x}=\frac{-45}{(6+3^{2}+1^{2})^{2}}\times 2\times 3\widehat{i}=-1.054\widehat{i}

2) Y direction is given by

\frac{\partial T(3,1)}{\partial y}=\frac{-45}{(6+3^{2}+1^{2})^{2}}\times 2\times 1\widehat{j}=-0.35\widehat{j}\\\\

Answer:

Explained below:

Explanation:

Water quality is determined in terms of the physical, chemical and biological content of water. The quality of water of lakes and rivers variates with the seasons and also geographic areas, still in the absence of pollution. There are  so many factors  which affect water quality are as follows :

Pesticides

Temperature

Runoff

Sedimentation

Erosion

pH

Dissolved oxygen

Pesticides

Litter and rubbish

Decayed organic materials

Toxic and hazardous substances

Oils, grease, and other chemicals
