Answer:

Accrued expenses are those liabilities that have built up over time and are due to be paid. Accrued expenses are considered to be current liabilities because the payment is usually due within one year of the date of the transaction. Accounts payable are current liabilities that will be paid in the near future.

Water is drained out of tank, shaped as an inverted right circular cone that has a radius of 4cm and a height of 16cm, at the ra

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

$\frac{dh}{dt}=-\frac{1}{2\pi}cm/min$

Step-by-step explanation:

From similar triangles, see diagram in attachment

$\frac{r}{4}=\frac{h}{16}$

We solve for $r$ to obtain,

$r=\frac{h}{4}$

The formula for calculating the volume of a cone is

$V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h$

We substitute the value of $r=\frac{h}{4}$ to obtain,

$V=\frac{1}{3}\pi (\frac{h}{4})^2h$

This implies that,

$V=\frac{1}{48}\pi h^3$

We now differentiate both sides with respect to $t$ to get,

$\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{\pi}{16}h^2 \frac{dh}{dt}$

We were given that water is drained out of the tank at a rate of $2cm^3/min$

This implies that $\frac{dV}{dt}=-2cm^3/min$ .

Since we want to determine the rate at which the depth of the water is changing at the instance when the water in the tank is 8cm deep, it means $h=8cm$ .
