Exercise 1.3.59

A stone is dropped into a lake, creating a circular ripple that travels outward at a speed of 60 cm s .
(a) Express the radius r of this circle as a function of the time t (in seconds).
(b) If A is the area of this circle as a function of the radius, find H r and interpret it.

Answers

(a)
t [ 0 , + ) : r ( t ) = 60 t .

(b)
r [ 0 , + ) : A ( τ ) = π r 2

t [ 0 , + ) : A r ( t ) = 3600 π t 2

The function A r of the time t represents the circular ripple area at the particular time t .
