A water tank has the shape of a right circular cone with axis vertical and vertex downwards. Its semi-vertical angle is tan⁡−134\tan ^{-1} \frac{3}{4} . Water is poured in it at a constant rate of 6 cubic meter per hour. The rate (in square meter per hour), at which the wet curved surface area of the tank is increasing, when the depth of water in the tank is 4 meters, is ______________.

JEE Main 2022 (Online) 27th July Evening Shift Mathematics - Application of Derivatives Question 57 English Explanation

v=13πr2hv = {1 \over 3}\pi {r^2}h ..... (i)

And tan⁡θ=34=rh\tan \theta = {3 \over 4} = {r \over h} ...... (ii)

i.e. if h=4, r=3h = 4,\,r = 3

v=13πr2(4r3)v = {1 \over 3}\pi {r^2}\left( {{{4r} \over 3}} \right)

dvdt=4π93r2drdt⇒6=4π3(9)drdt{{dv} \over {dt}} = {{4\pi } \over 9}3{r^2}{{dr} \over {dt}} \Rightarrow 6 = {{4\pi } \over 3}(9){{dr} \over {dt}}

⇒drdt=12π\Rightarrow {{dr} \over {dt}} = {1 \over {2\pi }}

Curved area =πrr2+h2= \pi r\sqrt {{r^2} + {h^2}}

=πrr2+16r29= \pi r\sqrt {{r^2} + {{16{r^2}} \over 9}}

=53πr2= {5 \over 3}\pi {r^2}

dAdt=103πrdrdt{{dA} \over {dt}} = {{10} \over 3}\pi r{{dr} \over {dt}}

=103π . 3 . 12π= {{10} \over 3}\pi \,.\,3\,.\,{1 \over {2\pi }}

=5= 5
