A boat is pulled toward a dock by means of a rope wound on a drum that is located 6 ft above the bow of the boat. If the rope is

being pulled in at the rate of 5 ft/s, how fast (in ft/s) is the boat approaching the dock when it is 34 ft from the dock?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The height of the dock (h) = 6

Let represent d to be the distance between the boat and the dock

Let the length of the rope between the boat and the drum be denoted by (l)

Then, the rate of change for the length of the rope be:

dl/dt = -5 ft/s

Using Pythagoras rule to determine the relationship between these values, we have:

l^2 = h^2 +d^2

l^2 = 6^2 + d^2

l^2 = 36 + d^2

We relate to:  2l * \dfrac{dl}{dt} = 2d* \dfrac{dd}{dt}

From the question;

l = 34,

So to find \dfrac{dd}{dt}, we get;

d = \sqrt{l^2 - 36}

d = \sqrt{34^2 - 36}

d = \sqrt{1156- 36}

d = \sqrt{1120}

d = 33.46

So, we have:

\dfrac{dd}{dt}= \dfrac{l}{d} \times \dfrac{dl}{dt}

\dfrac{dd}{dt}= \dfrac{34}{33.46} \times - 5

\dfrac{dd}{dt}= 1.016 \times - 5

\dfrac{dd}{dt}=-5.08 \ ft/sec

Jim needs to mix a medication with water to make the appropriate solution. The medications says to mix 3 oz of medication with 5
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

38 or 38.33 cups of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

You need 5 cups of water for every 3 ounces of medication. We can set up a proportion: #oz of medication/#cups of water= #oz of medication/# cups of water. We can plug in some numbers from the problem.

3/5=23/n. You can use any variable, but I'm using n for how many cups of water Jim will need for 23 ounces of medication.

We can cross multiply: 3*n=5*23.

3n=115

We divide both sides by 3.

n=38.3333333.......

Rounding to the nearest whole number, Jim will need 38 cups of water, or 38.33 cups if you're rounding to the nearest hundredth.

Hope this helps :)
