A Farmer's pasture |
2007-10-19 |
|
From Jennifer:
A Farmer's pasture measures 100 feet by 108 feet. Each cow needs 4 square yards of pasture to have enough grass.
How many Cows should the farmer put in this pasture?
If he builds a fence around the pasture 5 feet inside the edge, how much fencing would he need?
Does this change the number of cows that can be kept in the pasture?
If so, why ?

From Janet:
You hockey fans will love this question. I am making a Stanley Cup halloween costume and need a flat pattern for the bowl portion. I believe a truncated cone will work nicely. Base circumference needs to be 32" (10.19 diameter). Top circumference needs to be 44" (14 diameter). It needs to be 8" high. Thanks for your help.

A rectangular trough |
2007-10-18 |
|
From David:
A rectangular trough is 2 meter long, 0.5 meter across the top and 1 meter deep. At what rate must water be poured into the trough such that the depth of the water is increasing at 1m/min. when the depth of the water is 0.7m.
I know this involves implicit differentiation somehow, but the 3 variables, since V=l*w*h for a rectangle is confusing me. I'm not sure whether one of the variables should be fixed or not, since I'm not getting anywhere with this right now. Any help would be great.

A conical cup |
2007-10-18 |
|
From Nicholas:
Water is leaking out of a small hole at the tip of a conical paper cup at the rate of 1cm^3/min. The cup has height 8cm and radius 6cm, and is initially full up to the top. Find the rate of change of the height of water in the cup when the cup just begins to leak.
Since V= (pi/3)r^2h, how do I eliminate a variable or change the equation so I that I can answer the question? Thanks.
