Kassidy pose la question : Hey, I have searched through all the questions about conics and how
people use them in the real world, but none of them were very specific
on how they are applied and the process, why it's so important etc.
I have a project due asking these questions and it's been very difficult
finding the right answer, if you could name jobs, how they are use and
specifically applied that would be greatly appreciated. Penny Nom lui répond. |

Stella pose la question : Liquid is being pored into the top of a funnel at a steady rate of 200cm^3/s. The funnel is in the shape of an inverted right circular cone with a radius equal to its height. It has a small hole in the bottom where the liquid is flowing out at a rate of 20cm^3/s. How fast is the height of the liquid changing when the liquid in the funnel is 15cm deep?
At the instance when the height of the liquid is 25cm, the funnel becomes clogged at the bottom and no mo re liquid flows out. How fast does the height of the liquid change just after this occurs? Stephen La Rocque lui répond. |

Water in a conical tank |
2007-09-10 |
|
Greg pose la question : Joe is conducting an experiment to study the rate of flow of water from a conical tank.
The dimensions of the conical tank are:
Radius at the initial water level = 13.7 cm
Radius at the reference point = 12.8 cm
Initially the tank is full of water. There is a circular orifice at the bottom of the conical
tank with a diameter of 0.635 cm. The water drains from the conical tank into an empty
cylindrical tank lying on its side with a radius of 0.500 ft and a length L (ft).
Joe observed the water discharged with an average velocity of 1.50 m/s as the water level
lowered from the initial height of 14.0 cm to 5.00 cm in the conical tank. Answer the
following:
1. If the initial height of water in the conical tank is 14.0 cm (measured from the
reference point, see Fig. 1), how long in seconds will it take for the water level to drain to
a height of 5.00 cm?? NOTE: Height refers to the vertical height.
What formula would I use to find out how long in seconds it takes for the water level to drop? Harley Weston lui répond. |

I still don't understand the whole baseball thing, and any other way parabolas are used.
And how I can write a whole page on it. But that's my problem, not yours, I just need help

A conic |

What I did to try to find the solution of this problem was to graph and then I thought that maybe trying to find the equation of the asymptotes I could do it, but it was useless -because the equation of the asymptotes is y= +4/3(X-1) -2 and that does not explain why tho conic looks like y=(3/4) x .
