CLEP Calculus › How to find rate of flow
Determine the rate of flow of a liquid at given that it's flow function is determined by:
A -gallon tank begins to drain at a rate of
, where
is a time in seconds.
How much water will remain in the tank after five seconds?
The volume (in gallonws) of water in a sink after the drain is opened as a function of time can be written as: . What is the rate of flow out of the sink at
A -gallon tank begins to drain at a rate of
, where
is a time in seconds.
How much time will it take for the tank to be completely drained?
The volume of a sink with a newly open drain is a function of time, given as: .
Determine an equation that models the rate of change of flow into the sink.
Water is passing through a cone-shaped filter at . The cone has a radius of
at the top and is
high. At what rate is the depth of the water changing when the water reaches a height of
?
A spherical balloon is being filled with water. If, at a moment in time, the balloon has a diameter of which is increasing at a rate of
, what is the rate of flow of water into the balloon?
Water is poured into a cone shaped cup at a rate of 1 m/s. The radius of the cone is 5 m. What is the rate of change of the height of the water in the cone?
The volume of water (in liters) in a stream at time
(in minutes) is defined by the equation
. What is the stream’s rate of flow at
in liters per minute?
A cone-shaped funnel with a base diameter of and a height of
is initially full of water, though water begins to drain from the tip at a rate of
. How fast does the water level fall when it's at a height of
?
