$A$ man of height $1.8 \ m$ is moving away from a lamp post at the rate of $1.2 \ m/sec$. If the height of the lamp post is $4.5 \ m$,then the rate at which the shadow of the man is lengthening is .......... $m/sec$.

Sand is pouring from a pipe at the rate of $12 \text{ cm}^3/\text{s}$. The falling sand forms a cone on the ground in such a way that the height of the cone is always one-sixth of the radius of the base. How fast is the height of the sand cone increasing when the height is $4 \text{ cm}$?

Find the rate of change of the area of a circle with respect to its radius $r$ when $r=5 \text{ cm}$.

Find the rate of change of the area of a circle with respect to its radius $r$ when $r=4 \, cm$. (in $\pi \, cm$)

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 $\pi = \frac{22}{7}$)

An ice layer of uniform thickness is deposited on an iron sphere of radius $10 \text{ cm}$. The ice melts at a rate of $50 \text{ cm}^3/\text{min}$. When the thickness of the ice layer is $5 \text{ cm}$,the rate at which the thickness of the ice layer is decreasing is ...... $\text{cm/min}$.
