A cylinder is leaking water but you are unable to determine at what rate. The cylinder has a height of 2 m and a radius of 2 m. Find the rate at which the water is leaking out of the cylinder if the rate at which the height is decreasing is 10 cm/min when the height is 1 m.

Answer :

Answer:

[tex]\frac{2}{5}\pi \:m/min[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a Cylinder,V=[tex]\pi r^2 h[/tex]

Height = 2m

Radius=2m

When h=1m, [tex]\frac{dh}{dt} =-10cm/min=-0.1m/min[/tex]

The radius of the cylinder does not change, so we treat it as a constant.

[tex]\frac{dV}{dt}=\pi r^2 \frac{dh}{dt}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dV}{dt}=\pi* 2^2 (-0.1)[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dV}{dt}=-0.4\pi\\\frac{dV}{dt}=-\frac{2}{5}\pi[/tex]

The water is leaking out at a rate of [tex]\frac{2}{5}\pi \:m/min[/tex]

The rate at which the water is leaking out of the cylinder if the rate at which the height is decreasing is 10 cm/min when the height is 1 m is -1.256cm³/min

The formula for calculating the volume of the cylinder is expressed as:

[tex]V_c=\pi r^2 h[/tex]

Taking the derivative of the function with respect to the height

[tex]\frac{dV_c}{dh} = \pi r^2 \frac{dh}{dt}[/tex]

Given the following parameters

[tex]h = 2m\\r = 2m\\\frac{dh}{dt} = 10cm/min = -0.1m/min[/tex]

Since the radius is constant, hence:

[tex]\frac{dV_c}{dh} = (3.14) (2)^2 (-0.1)\\\frac{dV_c}{dh}=-1.256cm^3/min[/tex]

Hence the rate at which the water is leaking out of the cylinder if the rate at which the height is decreasing is 10 cm/min when the height is 1 m is -1.256cm³/min
