MHB Apc.2.8.1 ap vertical circular cylinder related rates

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the rate of increase of the lateral surface area of a vertical circular cylinder as both the radius and height increase at a constant rate of 2 ft/sec. The relevant surface area equation is established as 2πrh, leading to the derivative dA/dt. By substituting the given rates into the equation, the result is determined to be dA/dt = 4π(r + h). The correct answer to the problem is option c, 4π(r + h).

$\tiny{2.8.1}$

The vertical circular cylinder has radius r ft and height h ft.
If the height and radius both increase at the constant rate of 2 ft/sec,
Then what is the rate at which the lateral surface area increases?
\een
$\begin{array}{ll}
a&4\pi r\\
b&2\pi(r+h)\\
c&4\pi(r+h)\\
d&4\pi rh\\
e&4\pi h
\end{array}$
ok here is my setup
\begin{array}{lll}
\textit{given rates}
&\dfrac{dr}{dt}=2 \quad \dfrac{dh}{dt}=2
&(1)\\ \\
\textit{surface area eq}
&2\pi rh
&(2)\\ \\
\end{array}
so far

$\dfrac{dA}{dt} = 2\pi\left(r \cdot \dfrac{dh}{dt} + h \cdot \dfrac{dr}{dt} \right)$
 
$\dfrac{dA}{dt} = 2\pi\left(r \cdot \dfrac{dh}{dt} + h \cdot \dfrac{dr}{dt} \right)
=2\pi(2r+2h)=4\pi(r+h)$
 
Thread 'Problem with calculating projections of curl using rotation of contour'
Hello! I tried to calculate projections of curl using rotation of coordinate system but I encountered with following problem. Given: ##rot_xA=\frac{\partial A_z}{\partial y}-\frac{\partial A_y}{\partial z}=0## ##rot_yA=\frac{\partial A_x}{\partial z}-\frac{\partial A_z}{\partial x}=1## ##rot_zA=\frac{\partial A_y}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial A_x}{\partial y}=0## I rotated ##yz##-plane of this coordinate system by an angle ##45## degrees about ##x##-axis and used rotation matrix to...
