An airforce plane is ascending vertically atthe rate of 100 km/h. If the radius of the earth is `rk m ,`how fast is the area of the earth, visible from the plane, increasing at 3minutes after it started ascending? Given that the visible area `A`at height `h`is given by `A=2pir^2h/(r+h)`.

Answer» Let say h=height
and A= area
`(dh)/dt=100`
`A=(2pir^2h)/(r+h`
`(dA)/(dt)=(dA)/(dh)(dh)/(dt)`
`=2pir^2d/dh(h/(r+h))*100`
`=2pir^2[((r+h)-h)/(f+h)^2]*100`
`=(200pir^3)/(r+h)^2`
`h=100/60*3=5km`
`(dA)/(dt)=(200pir^3)/(r+5)^2``km^2`/h.
