The side of a square sheet of metal is increasing at the rate of $3 \text{ cm/min}$. At what rate is the area increasing when the length of the side is $6 \text{ cm}$?

The length and breadth of a rectangle are $x \text{ cm}$ and $y \text{ cm}$ respectively. If the length decreases at the rate of $5 \text{ cm/min}$ and the breadth increases at the rate of $3 \text{ cm/min}$,then the rates of change of the perimeter and area respectively when $x = 5 \text{ cm}$ and $y = 2 \text{ cm}$ are:

Two ships $A$ and $B$ are sailing straight away from a fixed point $O$ along routes such that $\angle AOB$ is always $120^o$. At a certain instance,$OA = 8 \ km$,$OB = 6 \ km$ and the ship $A$ is sailing at the rate of $20 \ km/hr$ while the ship $B$ is sailing at the rate of $30 \ km/hr$. Then the distance between $A$ and $B$ is changing at the rate (in $km/hr$):

The radius of the base of a cone is increasing at the rate $3 \text{ cm/min}$ and the altitude is decreasing at the rate $4 \text{ cm/min}$. The rate at which the lateral surface area is changing,when the radius is $7 \text{ cm}$ and altitude is $24 \text{ cm}$,is:

$A$ 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 $2 \ m/sec$. How fast is its height on the wall decreasing when the foot of the ladder is $4 \ m$ away from the wall?

$A$ particle moves such that $S = 6 + 48t - t^3$. The direction of motion reverses after moving a distance of
