A right circular cylinder has a diameter of 12 in and a height of 12 in. if water is flowing in at the rate of 4π in3 per minute, find the rate of change of the height when the height is 4 in?

Sagot :

The rate of change of the height is [tex]\frac{1}{9}[/tex] in/min.

What is a right circular cylinder?

A right circular cylinder is a cylinder that has a closed circular surface having two parallel bases on both the ends and whose elements are perpendicular to its base. It is also called a right cylinder.

Volume of the cylinder = [tex]\pi r^{2}h[/tex]

Rate of change of height is  [tex]\frac{dh}{dt}[/tex] = ?

At any time t,

Volume, V =  [tex]\pi r^{2}h[/tex]

Since r does not change with time, then r is a constant, so,

V =  [tex]\pi (6)^{2}h[/tex]

V = [tex]36\pi h[/tex]

Differentiate both sides with respect to time t,

[tex]\frac{dV}{dt} = 36\pi \frac{dh}{dt}[/tex] -------------(i)

Since [tex]\frac{dV}{dt}[/tex]is given as 4[tex]\pi[/tex] cu.in. per min,

[tex]4\pi = 36\pi \frac{dh}{dt}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dh}{dt} = \frac{4\pi }{36\pi }[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dh}{dt} = \frac{1 }{9 }[/tex] in/min.

Hence, The rate of change of the height is [tex]\frac{1}{9}[/tex] in/min.
