A child loves to watch as you fill a transparent plastic bottle with shampoo (Fig P1.65, page 34). Every horizontal cross section of the bottle is circular, but the diameters of the circles have different values. You pour the brightly colored shampoo into the bottle at a constant rate of 16.5 cm3/s. At what rate is its level in the bottle rising (a) at a point where the diameter of the bottle is 6.30 cm and (b) at a point where the diameter is 1.35 cm? Figure P1.65
You are working as an assistant to an air-traffic controller at the local airport, from which small airplanes take off and land. Your job is to make sure that airplanes are not closer to each other than a minimum safe separation distance of 2.00 km. You observe two small aircraft on your radar screen, out over the ocean surface. The first is at altitude 800 m above the surface, horizontal distance 19.2 km. and 25.0 south of west. The second aircraft is at altitude 1 100 m, horizontal distance 17.6 km, and 20.0 south of west. Your supervisor is concerned that the two aircraft are too close together and asks for a separatism distance for the two airplanes. (Place the x axis west, the y axis south, and the z axis vertical.)
