The length $x$ of a rectangle is decreasing at the rate of $5 \text{ cm/min}$ and the width $y$ is increasing at the rate of $4 \text{ cm/min}$. When $x = 8 \text{ cm}$ and $y = 6 \text{ cm}$,find the rate of change of the perimeter.

The side of a square piece is increasing at a rate of $4 \text{ cm/min}$. Find the rate at which the area is increasing when the side is $8 \text{ cm}$ long.

By dropping a stone in a quiet lake,a wave in the form of a circle is generated. The radius of the circular wave increases at the rate of $2.1 \text{ cm/sec}$. Then the rate of increase of the enclosed circular region,when the radius of the circular wave is $10 \text{ cm}$,is (Given $\pi = \frac{22}{7}$)

Water is dripping out at a steady rate of $1 \text{ cm}^3/\text{sec}$ through a tiny hole at the vertex of a conical vessel,whose axis is vertical. When the slant height of water in the vessel is $4 \text{ cm}$,find the rate of decrease of the slant height,where the semi-vertical angle of the conical vessel is $\frac{\pi}{6}$.

The rate of change of the diagonal $R$ of a square with respect to its area $A$ is:

$A$ $2 \ m$ ladder leans against a vertical wall. If the top of the ladder begins to slide down the wall at the rate of $25 \ cm/sec$,then the rate (in $cm/sec$) at which the bottom of the ladder slides away from the wall on the horizontal ground when the top of the ladder is $1 \ m$ above the ground is:
