Sand is pouring from a pipe at the rate of 12 cm3/s. The falling sand forms a cone on theground in such a way that the height of the cone is always one-sixth of the radius of the base.How fast is the height of the sand cone increasing when the height is 4 cm?
OR
Find the points on the curve x2 + y2 – 2x – 3 = 0 at which the tangents are parallel to x–axis.
Since, Volume of a cone = ![]()
And
, r = 6h
![]()
Differentiating,
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
Hence, the height is increasing at the rate of
cm/sec.
OR
Differentiating the expression,
![]()
![]()
![]()
Since the tangents are parallel to x-axis so it’s slope is 0.
![]()
X = 1
![]()
![]()
y=±2
Hence the points are (1,2) & (1,-2).
