Least count of the pulse stopwatch is given by
this means each division of the stopwatch will measure 0.1 s of time
After 3 journeys from one end to other we can see that total time that is measured here is shown by the clock as 52nd division
So here total time is given as
Time = (Number of division) (Least count)
now we will have
The rate at which the height is changing is ( 5 / x ) m / hr
We know that,
Area of an equilateral triangle A =
/ 4
h = x / 2
Where,
x = Side
h = Height
Given that,
dA / dt = 5 / hr
h = x / 2
Differentiate both sides with respect to t
dh / dt = ( / 2 ) ( dx / dt )
dx / dt = ( 2 / ) ( dh / dt )
A =
/ 4
Differentiate both sides with respect to t
dA / dt = ( / 4 ) ( 2x ) ( dx / dt )
5 = ( / 4 ) ( 2x ) ( 2 /
) ( dh / dt )
dh / dt = ( 5 / x ) m / hr
Rate of change of height is defined as the rate at which height of an object changes with respect to time. It is represented as dh / dt
Therefore, the rate at which the height is changing is ( 5 / x ) m / hr
