Since the altitude of the triangle on the sides of the trough are equal, the area covered when the water is h feet deep is 1/2*h².

The volume of the trough filled at a given height will be given by V=B*h=h²/2*12=6h².

If you differentiate both sides of the above equation with respect to time you get

dV/dt=12*h*dh/dt

The rate of change of the volume is given to be 2 cubic feet per minute, and we are asked to determine the change of height when h=1

2=12*2*dh/dt

dh/dt=1/12 feet/minute

How does a home ac unit work?

Refrigerant is pumped by a compressor located in the out door section called the condensor to a evaporator coil as a liquid through a metering device.Your air handler or furnace blows air from your home across the evaporator where the liquid refrigerant expands into a gas and picks up the heat from the air across the coil.Then the gas is pumped to the condensor and is again condensed into a liquid through the means of cooling the gas usually by a fan pulling air across the coils of the outdoor unit.
