Rate of change $frac{dV}{dt}$












0












$begingroup$


I have the following task: "Poiscuille's Law: $V=frac{P}{4Lv} (R^2 - r^2)$. Assume that $r$ is a constant as well as $P,L,v$. Find the rate of change $frac{dV}{dt}$ in terms of $R$ and $frac{dR}{dt}$ when $L=1$mm, $p=100$, $v=0.05$."



I cannot understand how can how can diff that, what is the $t$ here? I can write $V = 500 (R^2 - r^2)$. But what after? And what is "find the rate of change in terms of...? Something like: $frac{dV}{dt} = frac{dV}{dR}frac{dR}{dt}$? I am right?

          You have a function
          $$V(R)=frac{p}{4Lv}(R^2-r^2)$$
          But $R$ is a function of the time, so you have that
          $$V(t)=V(R(t))=frac{p}{4Lv}(R^2(t)-r^2)$$
          So you are right, you should just use the chain rule.

          Ellipse (mathématiques)

          Image
          Pour les articles homonymes, voir Ellipse. L'ellipse est le lieu des points dont la somme des distances à deux points fixes, dits foyers, est constante. Section du cône ou projection du cercle. En géométrie, une ellipse est une courbe plane fermée obtenue par l’intersection d’un cône de révolution avec un plan, à condition que celui-ci coupe l'axe de rotation du cône ou du cylindre : c'est une conique d'excentricité strictement comprise entre 0 et 1. On peut également la définir comme le lieu des points dont la somme des distances à deux points fixes, dits foyers, est constante (sa construction par la méthode du jardinier est très simple). Dans la vie courante, l’ellipse est la forme qu'on perçoit en regardant un cercle en perspective, ou la figure formée par l’ombre d'un disque sur une surface plane. On retrouve aussi, en première approximation [ 1 ] , des ellipses dans les trajectoires des corps célestes (planètes, comètes ou satellites arti...

          Quarter-circle Tiles

          up vote 0 down vote favorite I have $99$ identical square tiles, each with a quarter-circle drawn on it like this: [asy] size(1.5cm); draw(Arc((2,0),1,90,180),red+1); draw((0,0)--(2,0)--(2,2)--(0,2)--(0,0)); [/asy] When I arrange the tiles in a $9times 11$ rectangular grid, each with a random orientation, what is the expected value of the number of full circles I form? I think this problem has to do with finding the chance any given 2x2 square has a circle, but I can't find it. expected-value share | cite | improve this question asked Nov 20 at 15:03 6minecraftninja 1 2 ...
