If $s = t^3- 4t^2+ 5$ describes the motion of a particle, then its velocity when the acceleration vanishes, is :
  • A
    $\frac{16}{2}\ \text{unit}/\text{sec}.$
  • B
    $\frac{\text{-32}}{3}\ \text{unit}/\text{sec}.$
  • C
    $\frac{4}{3}\ \text{unit}/\text{sec}.$
  • $-\frac{16}{3}\ \text{unit}/\text{sec}.$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$-\frac{16}{3}\ \text{unit}/\text{sec}.$
According to the question,
$\text{s}=\text{t}^{3}-4\text{t}^{2}+5$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{ds}}{\text{dt}}=3\text{t}^{2}-8\text{t}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{d}^{2}\text{s}}{\text{dt}^{2}}=6\text{t}-8$
$\Rightarrow6\text{t}-8=0$
$\Big[$As velocity diminish, then $\frac{\text{d}^{2}\text{s}}{\text{dt}^{2}}=0\Big]$
$\Rightarrow\text{t}=\frac{4}{3}$
Now, $\Big(\frac{\text{ds}}{\text{dt}}\Big)_{\text{t}=\frac{4}{3}}=3\Big(\frac{4}{3}\Big)^{2}-8\Big(\frac{4}{3}\Big)$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{ds}}{\text{dt}}=\frac{16}{3}-\frac{32}{3}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{ds}}{\text{dt}}=-\frac{16}{3}\ \text{unit}/\text{sec}.$

$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{v}}{\text{u}}=\frac{3}{2}$
$\Rightarrow\text{u}=\frac{2\text{v}}{3}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{du}}{\text{du}}=\frac{2}{3}\frac{\text{dv}}{\text{dt}}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{du}}{\text{dt}}=\frac{2}{3}\times9$

$\Rightarrow\text{l}=25$
$\text{s}=\pi\text{r}\text{l}$
$\Rightarrow\text{s}^{2}=\pi\text{r}^{2}\text{l}^{2}$
$\Rightarrow\text{s}^{2}=\pi\text{r}^{2}(\text{h}^{2}+\text{r}^{2})$
$\Rightarrow\text{s}=\pi\text{r}^{2}\text{h}^{2}+\pi\text{r}^{4}$
$\Rightarrow2\text{s}\frac{\text{ds}}{\text{dt}}=2\pi^{2}\text{r}^{2}\text{h}\frac{\text{dh}}{\text{dt}}+2\pi^{2}\text{h}^{2}\text{r}\frac{\text{dr}}{\text{dt}}+4\pi^{2}\text{r}^{3}\frac{\text{dr}}{\text{dt}}$

$\Rightarrow\pi\text{r}\text{l}\frac{\text{ds}}{\text{dt}}=\pi^{2}\text{r}\text{h}\Bigg(\text{r}+\frac{\text{dh}}{\text{dt}}+\text{h}\frac{\text{dr}}{\text{dt}}+\frac{2\text{r}^{2}}{\text{h}}\frac{\text{dr}}{\text{dt}}\Bigg)$
$\Rightarrow25\frac{\text{ds}}{\text{dt}}=\pi\text{r}\text{h}\Bigg(\text{r}+\frac{\text{dh}}{\text{dt}}+\text{h}\frac{\text{dr}}{\text{dt}}+\frac{2\text{r}^{2}}{\text{h}}\frac{\text{dr}}{\text{dt}}\Bigg)$
$\Rightarrow25\frac{\text{ds}}{\text{dt}}=\pi\text{h}\Bigg(\text{r}+\frac{\text{dh}}{\text{dt}}+\text{h}\frac{\text{dr}}{\text{dt}}+\frac{2\text{r}^{2}}{\text{h}}\frac{\text{dr}}{\text{dt}}\Bigg)$
$\Rightarrow25\frac{\text{ds}}{\text{dt}}=24\pi\Bigg(7\times(-4)+24\times3+\frac{2\times(7)^{2}}{24}\times3\bigg)$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{ds}}{\text{dt}}=54\pi\text{cm}^{2}/\text{sec}$

The coordinates of the point on the ellipse $16x^2+ 9y^2= 400$ where the ordinate decreases at the same rate at which the abscissa increases, are :
  • $ (3, \frac{16}{3})$
  • B
    $ (-3, \frac{16}{3})$
  • C
    $ (3, -\frac{16}{3})$
  • D
    $ (3, -3)$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$ (3, \frac{16}{3})$
According to the question,
$\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dt}}=\frac{-\text{dx}}{\text{dt}}$
$16\text{x}^{2}+9\text{y}^{2}=400$
$\Rightarrow32\text{x}\frac{\text{dx}}{\text{dt}}+18\text{y}\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dt}}=0$
$\Rightarrow32\text{x}\frac{\text{dx}}{\text{dt}}=-18\text{y}\frac{\text{dy}}{dt}$
$\Rightarrow32\text{x}=18\text{y}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{9\text{y}}{16} ...(\text{i}) $
Now,
$16\Big(\frac{9\text{y}}{16}\Big)^{2}+9\text{y}^{2}=400$
$\Rightarrow\frac{81\text{y}^{2}}{16}+9\text{y}^{2}=400$
$\Rightarrow81\text{y}^{2}+144\text{y}^{2}=6400$
$\Rightarrow225\text{y}^{2}=6400$
$\Rightarrow\text{y}^{2}=\frac{6400}{225}$
$\Rightarrow\text{y}=\sqrt{\frac{6400}{225}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{y}=\frac{16}{3}$ and $-\frac{16}{3}$
So, $\text{x}=\frac{9}{16}\times\frac{16}{3}\ [$Using $(1)]$
Or $\text{x}=-\frac{9}{16}\times\frac{16}{3}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=3 $ or $ -3$
So, the required point is $(3, \frac{16}{3}).$

A cylindrical vessel of radius 0.5m is filled with oil at the rate of $0.25\pi/\text{minute}$. The rate at which the surface of the oil is rising, is:
  • 1m/ minute
  • B
    2m/ minute
  • C
    5m/ minute
  • D
    0.25m/ minute
Answer
Correct option: A.
1m/ minute
$\text{V}=\pi\text{r}^2\text{h}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{dV}}{\text{dt}}=\pi\text{r}^2\frac{\text{dh}}{\text{dt}}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{dh}}{\text{dt}}=\frac{1}{\pi\text{r}^2}\frac{\text{dV}}{\text{dt}}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{dh}}{\text{dt}}=\frac{1}{\pi(0.5)^2}\times(0.5)^2\pi$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{dh}}{\text{dt}}=1\text{m}/\sec.$

In a sphere the rate of change of volume is:
  • A
    $\pi$ times the rate of change of radius.
  • B
    Surface area times the rate of change of diameter.
  • Surface area times the rate of change of radius.
  • D
    None of these.
Answer
Correct option: C.
Surface area times the rate of change of radius.
Let r be the redius V be the volume of sphere at any time t. Then, $\text{V}=\frac{4}{3}\pi\text{r}^{3}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{dv}}{\text{dt}}=\frac{4}{3}(3\pi\text{r}^{2})\Big(\frac{\text{dr}}{\text{dt}}\Big)$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{dv}}{\text{dt}}=4\pi\text{r}^{2}\Big(\frac{\text{dr}}{\text{dt}}\Big)$
Thus, the rate of change of volume is surface area times the rate of change of the radius.

  • A
    $12\pi\ \text{cm}^{3}/\text{sec}.$
  • $180\pi\ \text{cm}^{3}/\text{sec}.$
  • C
    $225\pi\ \text{cm}^{3}/\text{sec}.$
  • D
    $3\pi\ \text{cm}^{3}/\text{sec}.$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$180\pi\ \text{cm}^{3}/\text{sec}.$
$\text{v}=\frac{4}{3}\pi\text{r}^{3}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{dv}}{\text{dt}}=4\pi\text{r}^{2}\frac{\text{dr}}{\text{dt}}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{dv}}{\text{dt}}=4\pi(15)^{2}\times0.2$
$=180\pi \ \text{cm}^{3}/\text{sec}.$

  • A
    $1.6\text{km}/\text{hr}$
  • B
    $6.3\text{km}/\text{hr}$
  • C
    $5\text{km}/\text{hr}$
  • $3.2\text{km}/\text{hr}$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$3.2\text{km}/\text{hr}$

Since, $\triangle\text{P}\text{Q}\text{R}$ and $\triangle\text{X}\text{Y}\text{R}$ are similar.
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{PQ}}{\text{XY}}=\frac{\text{QR}}{\text{YR}}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{5}{2}=\frac{\text{u+v}}{\text{u}}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{5}{2}=1-\frac{\text{v}}{\text{u}}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{v}}{\text{u}}=\frac{3}{2}$
$\Rightarrow\text{u}=\frac{2}{3}\text{v}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{du}}{\text{dt}}=\frac{2}{3}\frac{\text{dv}}{\text{dt}}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{du}}{\text{dt}}=\frac{2}{3}\times4.8$
$=3.2\text{km}/\text{hr}$
