$A$ ladder $5 \ m$ long is leaning against a wall. The bottom of the ladder is pulled along the ground,away from the wall,at the rate of $2 \ cm/s$. How fast is its height on the wall decreasing when the foot of the ladder is $4 \ m$ away from the wall?

  • A
    $\frac{8}{3} \ cm/s$
  • B
    $\frac{4}{3} \ cm/s$
  • C
    $\frac{2}{3} \ cm/s$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{3} \ cm/s$

Consider an expanding sphere of instantaneous radius $R$ whose total mass remains constant. The expansion is such that the instantaneous density $\rho$ remains uniform throughout the volume. The rate of fractional change in density $\left(\frac{1}{\rho} \frac{d \rho}{dt}\right)$ is constant. The velocity $v$ of any point on the surface of the expanding sphere is proportional to
