Undergrad Evaluate using Leibniz rule and/or chain rule

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on evaluating the derivative of the integral $$ \frac{d}{dt}\int_{0}^{^{\eta(t)}}\rho(p,t)dz $$, where $$ p = p(z,t) $$. Participants confirm the necessity of applying the Leibniz rule and the chain rule for differentiation. The integral can be expressed as $$ F(t) = \int_{0}^{^{\eta(t)}}\rho(p(z,t),t)dz $$, and the derivative can be computed using the relationship $$ \frac{d}{dt} \left( \phi_z(\eta(t),t) - \phi_z(0,t) \right) $$, where $$ \phi_z(z,t) $$ is the anti-derivative of $$ \rho(p(z,t),t) $$ with respect to $$ z $$.

I want to evaluate
$$ \frac{d}{dt}\int_{0}^{^{\eta(t)}}\rho(p,t)dz $$

where p itself is $$ p=p(z,t) $$

I have the feeling I have to use Leibniz rule and/or chain rule, but I'm not sure how...

Thanks.

So ##\rho(p,t)=\rho(p(z,t),t)=\varphi(z,t)##, and if ##\phi_z(z,t)## is the anti-derivative of ##\varphi(z,t)## with respect to the first coordinate, your are actually looking for ##\frac{d}{dt} \left( \phi_z(\eta(t),t) - \phi_z(0,t) \right)##.
Don't know whether this helps.

The chain rule let's us differentiate each instance of the variable separately.
$$\dfrac{d}{dt}\int_{0}^{^{\eta(t)}}\rho(p(z,t),t)dz=\left.\left(\dfrac{\partial}{\partial u}+\dfrac{\partial}{\partial v}+\dfrac{\partial}{\partial w}\right)\int_{0}^{^{\eta(u)}}\rho(p(z,v),w)dz\right|_{u,v,w=t}$$
So replace each t by a dummy variable differentiate with respect to each and add them up, then replace each with t again.

Thanks fresh_24 and lurflurf for your quick and helfpul answers! Have a nice day.
 
$$ F(t) = \int_{0}^{^{t}}\rho(p,t)dz $$ is a function of ##t##.

Your function is ##F(η(t))##.
