The rate at which the roof opens is 8.42 inches/second
The given parameters:
the length at which the roof opens, L = 421 inches
time at which this roof opens, t = 50 seconds
To find:
- the rate at which the roof opens
The rate at which the roof opens is given as the ratio of the length of the roof to the time at it opens;
[tex]rate = \frac{length \ of \ roof}{time} \\\\rate = \frac{421 \ inches}{50 \ seconds} \\\\rate = 8.42 \ inches/second[/tex]
Thus, the rate at which the roof opens is 8.42 inches/second
