Question 3:
A kite is moving horizontally at a height of meters. If the speed of kite is , how fast is the string being let out; when the kite is away from the boy who is flying the kite? The height of boy is .
Answer:
Given: a boy of n height is flying a kite at a height of . The kite is moving with a speed of . And the kite is away from the boy.
To find the speed at which the string is let out
Explanation: the below figure shows the above situation,
From the above figure,
Height of the kite,
Height of the boy,
Distance between kite and boy,
And BA is the length of the string
So, we need to find out the rate of increase of the string
From figure,
From figure it is clear that forms right-angled triangle
Now applying the Pythagoras theorem, we get
Now substituting the corresponding values, we get
Now differentiate equation (i) with respect to time, we get
Applying the sum rule of the differentiation, we get
Now the height is not increasing so it is constant, so
Applying the derivative with respect to t, we get
Now given the kite is moving with a speed of , so
Now substituting corresponding value in equation (iii) , we get
Hence the string is let out at a rate of .
