Question 1.
A point moves along a straight line in such a way that after t seconds its distance from the origin is s = 2t2 + 3t metres.
(i) Find the average velocity of the points between t = 3 and t = 6 seconds.
(ii) Find the instantaneous velocities at t = 3 and t = 6 seconds.
Solution:
(i) Given s = 2t2 + 3t
(i.e.) f(t) = 2t2 +3t
Now f(3) = 18 + 9 = 27 = f(a)
f(6) = 72 + 18 = 90 = f(b)

= 21m/s

(ii) s = 2t² + 3t
\(\frac { ds }{ dt }\) = 4t + 3
at t = 3 Instantaneous velocity
\(\frac { ds }{ dt }\) = 4(3) + 3 = 15 m/s
at t = 6, Instantaneous velocity
\(\frac { ds }{ dt }\) = 4 (6) + 3 = 27 m/s

Question 2.
A camera is accidentally knocked off an edge of a cliff 400 ft high. The camera falls a distance of s = 16t2 in t seconds.
(i) How long does the camera fall before it hits the ground?
(ii) What is the average velocity with which the camera falls during the last 2 seconds?
(iii) What is the instantaneous velocity of the camera when it hits the ground?
Solution:
(i) s = 16t2
16t2 = 400

(ii) Last 2 seconds means t = 3 to t = 5
f(t) = 16t2
f(3) = 16(9) = 144 = f(a)
f(5) = 16(25) = 400 = f(b)
Samacheer Kalvi 12th Maths Solutions Chapter 7 Applications of Differential Calculus Ex 7.1 3
= 128 ft/sec

(iii) s = 16t²
\(\frac { ds }{ dt }\) = 32 t
When it hits the ground at time 5 seconds at t = 5,
instantaneous velocity \(\frac { ds }{ dt }\) = 32 (5)
= 160 ft/sec.

Question 3.
A particle moves along a line according to the law s(t) = 2t3 – 9t2 + 12t – 4, where t ≥ 0.
(i) At what times the particle changes direction?
(ii) Find the total distance travelled by the particle in the first 4 seconds.
(iii) Find the particle’s acceleration each time the velocity is zero.
Solution:
(i) s = f(t) = 2t3 – 9t2 + 12t – 4
V = f'(t) = 6t2 – 18t + 12
V = 0 ⇒ 6(t2 -3t – 2) = 0
(t – 1)(t – 2) = 0
t = 1, 2
When t < 1, (say t = 0.5)
V = 6(0.25 – 1.5 + 2) = +ve
When 1 < t < 2, (say t = 1.5) V = 6(2.25 – 4.5 + 2) = -ve When t > 2, (say t = 3)
V = 6(9 – 6 + 2) = +ve
So the particle changes its direction when t lies between 1 and 2 secs.

(ii) Total distance travelled in first 4 seconds
s (0) = -4
s (1) = 2(1)³ – 9(1)² + 12(1) – 4
= 2 – 9 + 12 – 4
= 1
s (2) = 2 (2)³ – 9 (2)² + 12 (2) – 4
= 16 – 36 + 24 – 4
= 0
s (3) = 2(3)³ – 9(3)² + 12 (3) – 4
= 54 – 81 + 36 – 4
= 5
s (4) = 2 (4)³ – 9 (4)² + 12 (4) – 4
= 128 – 144 + 48 – 4
= 28
Total distance travelled in the first 4 seconds.
= |s(0) – s(1)| + |s(1) – s(2)| + |s (2) – s (3)| + |s (3) – s (4)|
= |-4 – 1| + |1 – 0| + |0 – 5| + |5 – 28|
= |-5| + |1| + |-5| + |-23|
= 5 + 1 + 5 + 23
= 34 m

a (at V = 0) is ‘a’ at t = 1 and 2
Now a (at t = 1) = 12 – 18 = -6m / sec2
a (at t = 2) = 24 – 18 = +6m / sec2

(ii) At what rate, the area of the triangle formed by the ladder, wall, and floor, is changing?
Solution:

Question 1.
A water tank has the shape of an inverted circular cone with a base radius of 2 metres and a height of 4 metres. If water is being pumped into the tank at a rate of 2mt3/min, find the rate at which the water level is rising when the water is 3m deep.
Solution:
We first sketch the cone and label it as in the diagram. Let V, r, and h be respectively the volume of the water, the radius of the cone, and the height at time t, where t is measured in minutes.
We are given that \(\frac{d \mathrm{V}}{d t}\) = 2m3/min and we are asked to find \(\frac{d h}{d t}\) when h is 3m.
Samacheer Kalvi 12th Maths Solutions Chapter 7 Applications of Differential Calculus Ex 7.1 15
The quantities V and h are related by the equation V = \(\frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h\). But it is very useful to express V as function of h alone.

Question 2.
A car A is travelling from the west at 50 km/hr and car B is travelling towards the north at 60 km/hr. Both are headed for the intersection of the two roads. At what rate are the cars approaching each other when car A is 0.3 kilometers and car B is 0.4 kilometers from the intersection?
Solution:
We draw a diagram where C is the intersection of the two roads. At a given time t, let x be the distance from car A to C, let y be the distance from car B to C, and let z be the distance between the cars A and B where x, y, and z are measured in kilometers.
We are given that \(\frac{d x}{d t}\) = -50 km/hr and \(\frac{d y}{d t}\) = -60 km/hr.

Note that x andy are decreasing and hence the negative sign.
We are asked to find \(\frac{d z}{d t}\)
The equation that relate x, y and z is given by the Pythagoras theorem z2 = x2 + y2

Question 4.
At noon, ship A is 100 km west of ship B. Ship A is sailing east at 35 km/hr and ship B is sailing north at 25 km/hr. How fast is the distance between the ships changing at 4.00 pm?
Solution:
Distance travelled by A in 4 hrs
(12 noon to 4.00 pm) = 4 × 35 = 140 km
Samacheer Kalvi 12th Maths Solutions Chapter 7 Applications of Differential Calculus Ex 7.1 19
∴ BA’= 40 km (140 – 100)
Distance travelled by B in 4 hrs = 4 × 25 = 100 km
Now in right angled ∆A’BB’, x2 + y2 = s2
Here, x = BA’ = 40 km
y = BB’= 100 km
⇒ s2 = 402 + 1002
= 1600 + 10000
= 11600

Question 5.
Gravel is being dumped from a conveyor belt at a rate of 30 ft3/min and it coarsened such that it forms a pile in the shape of a cone whose base diameter and height are always equal. How fast is the height of the pile increasing when the pile is 10 ft high?
Solution:
Given:
Diameter = Height = h ft (say)
Samacheer Kalvi 12th Maths Solutions Chapter 7 Applications of Differential Calculus Ex 7.1 23
So, the height is increasing at the rate of \(\frac{6}{5 \pi}\) ft/min
