Q16 of 45 Page 1

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).
