A pyramid-shaped vat has square cross-section and stands on its tip. The dimensions at the top are 2 m × 2 m, and the depth is 5

m. If water is flowing into the vat at 3 m3 /min, how fast is the water level rising when the depth of water (at the deepest point) is 4 m? Note: the volume of any "conical" shape (including pyramids) is (1/3)(height)(area of base).

Answer:

the water level increases at a rate of 1.718 m/min when the depth is 4 m

Step-by-step explanation:

the volume of the pyramid is

V = (1/3)(height)(area of base) = 1/3 H*L²

For the diagonal in the pyramid

tg Ф = Side Length/ Height = L / H = x / h

where h= depth of water , x= side of the corresponding cross section

therefore x= L *h/H

the volume of the water is

v= 1/3 h*x² = 1/3 (L/H)² h³

in terms of time

v = Q*t

then

Q*t = 1/3 (L/H)² h³

h³ = 3*(H/L)² *Q *t

h = ∛(3*(H/L)² *Q *t) = ∛(3*(H/L)² *Q) *∛t = k* ∛t , where k=∛(3*(H/L)² *Q)

h = k* ∛t

then the rate of increase in depth is dh/dt

dh/dt = 1/3*k* t^(-2/3)

since

t = (h/k)³

dh/dt = 1/3*k* t^(-2/3) = 1/3*k* (h/k)³ ^(-2/3)  = 1/3*k* (h/k)^(-2) = 1/3 k³ / h²

=  1/3 (3*(H/L)²*Q) / h²  = (H/L)²*Q /h²

dh/dt= [H/(h*L)]²*Q

replacing values, when h=4m

dh/dt= [H/(h*L)]²*Q  = [5m/(4m*2m)]² * (3m³/min)= 1.718 m/min

Hoochie [10]

Answer: -3n+31

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 28-55=3

25-22=3

22-19=3

19-16=3

This means that n = -3 as we are subtracting

2. We then do the opposite, we take the first number and we add 3 instead of taking it away we get 31.

That is how you get your answer
