Find an angle θ

which increases twice as fast as its cosine.

which increases twice as fast as its cosine.


As per the given condition,


θ = 2 cos θ


Now differentiating the above equation with respect to time we get






Hence,


So the value of angle θ which increases twice as fast as its cosine is

The top of a ladder 6 metre long is resting against a vertical wall on a level pavement, when the ladder begins to slide outwards. At the moment when the foot of the ladder is 4 metres from the wall, it is sliding away from the wall at the rate of 0.5 m/sec. How fast is the top - sliding downwards at this instance?
