- A Troublesome Snowball One winter afternoon, unbeknownst to his mom, a child bring a snowball into the house, lays it on the floor, and then goes to watch T.V. Let W=W(t) be the volume of dirty water that has soaked into the carpet t minutes after the snowball was deposited on the floor. Explain in practical terms what the limiting value of W represents, and tell what has happened physically when this limiting value is reached.arrow_forwardA soda can has a volume of 25 cubic inches. Let x denote its radius and h its height, both in inches. a. Using the fact that the volume of the can is 25 cubic inches, express h in terms of x. b. Express the total surface area S of the can in terms of x.arrow_forward
