    Water is being emptied from a spherical jar of radius 10 cm. If the depth of the water in the tank is 4 cm and it is decreasing at the rate of 2 cm/sec, then the radius of the top surface of water is decreasing at the rate (cm/sec) of

    A) \[1\]    

    B)        \[\frac{2}{3}\]

    C) \[2\]                      

    D)        \[\frac{3}{2}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] Let at time t, radius of top surface be x and depth of the water be h. \[{{x}^{2}}={{10}^{2}}-{{(10-h)}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{{x}^{2}}=20h-{{h}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,2x\frac{dx}{dt}=(20-2h)\frac{dh}{dt}\] At  \[h=4;\] \[x=\sqrt{80-16}=8\] \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\,16\frac{dx}{dt}=(20-2\times 4)\times (-2)\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,16\frac{dx}{dt}=-24\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\frac{dx}{dt}=-\frac{3}{2}\]
