taking the horizontal section of the corridor :
W = xcos theta + b sin theta

adjacent =cos theta * hypotenus

=xcos theta
opposite of smaller triangle = sin theta * b

=bsin theta

w= xcos theta + bsin theta
(HENCE SHOWN)

the side W = the adjacent side of the line AD (when taken in a triangle) + the opposite side of angle theta
so :

calculating the the adjacent side of the line AD (when taken in a triangle) :
the adjacent side of the line AD (when taken in a triangle)
cos theta =adjacent/ hypotenus
adjacent=cos theta * hypotenus =cos theta * b
=bcos theta


calculating the opposite side of angle theta :
sin theta = opposite/ hypotenus
hypotenus = length a of rectangle - part x of side CD
= a-x
sin theta = opposite / (a-x)
opposite = (a-x) *sin theta


HENCE , w= b cos theta + (a-x) sin theta
<--------- ANSWER

ii)
im unable to do ths part :S sorry

iii)
replace 45 - phi in the equation in part (ii) which is already given
use compound angle to expand and reach the solution asked there

iv) replace the values given in the equation given in part (iii)
solve for theta

ina hurry so plz manage :)
if u still dont get it then tell me :) for part iii and iv
ill do it stepwise

for (ii) im missing smethng i thnk. ill try it again later if u still dont get it. try ask someone else :)

Yup,its 3/20pi,which is more or less the same as 0.049.

How?
dV/dx =dV/dt * dt/dx

dV/dx = (18*pi*x^2) - (4/3 * pi* x^3)

dV/dt = 3

we've to find dx/dt

replce the value of x in dV/dx by 2

using the chain rule, replace value obtain for dV/dx and the dV/dt.
ull get dt/dx = 194/9
dx/dt = 9/194 = 0.049 <------------ANSWER

oh ok..yeah u r right.
actually thts wht i thought i missed :p coz i dint use 6
the radius indicates the greatest depth of the container actually..
We dont have to use 6 anywhere in the working do we?
But by differentiation we get

1st step,simplifying:18pix^2 - pix^3/3
Differentiation of
dV/dx= 36pix - 3pix^2
How do you get that one?Dont we eliminate the constant below that is 3?And from where did you get that 4/3?

But by differentiation we get

1st step,simplifying:18pix^2 - 4pix^3/3 <------we get 4 up there
Differentiation of
dV/dx= 36pix - 4pix^2 <---------- u get this when u re differenciate the one above
