Answer:
The rate of change of the area when the bottom of the ladder (denoted by 
) is at 36 ft. from the wall is the following:
Explanation:
The Area of the triangle is given by 
where 
(by using the Pythagoras' Theorem) and is the length of the base of the triangle or the distance between the bottom of the ladder and the wall.
The area is then
The rate of change of the area is given by its time derivative
Product rule
Chain rule
In here we can identify 
, 
and 
.
The result is then
Pressure is defined as the force per unit area on a body.
Given Information:
slope angle = θ = 30°
spring constant = k = 30 N/m
compressed length = x = 10 cm = 0.10 m
mass of ice cube = m = 63 g = 0.063 kg
Required Information:
distance traveled by ice cube = d = ?
Answer:
distance traveled by ice cube = 0.48 m
Explanation:
Using the the principle of conversation of energy, the following relation holds true for this case,
mgh = 1/2*kx²
h = 1/2*kx²/mg
Where h is the height of the slope, m is the mass of ice cube, k is the spring constant and x is the compressed length o the spring and g is gravitational acceleration.
h = 1/2*kx²/mg
h = 1/2*30(0.1)²/0.063*9.8
h = 0.242 m
From trigonometry ratio,
sinθ = h/d
d = h/sinθ
d = 0.242/sin(30)
d = 0.48 m
Therefore, when the ice cube is released, it will travel a total distance 0.48 up the slope before reversing direction.
