Related Rates - The Ladder Problem
This calculus video tutorial explains how to solve the ladder problem in related rates. It explains how to find the rate at which the top of the ladder is sliding down the building and how to find the rate at which the area formed by the ladder is changing. In addition, it explains how to determine the rate at which the angle formed by the ground and the ladder is changing with respect to time using derivatives and implicit differentiation.

MR. Organic Chemistry Tutor, thank you for an outstanding video/lecture on the Ladder Problem in Calculus One. This is an error free video/lecture on KZread TV with the Organic Chemistry Tutor.
This man is goated, he has helped me pass so many test and quizzes
are you one day going to also teach statistics,cosmology,modern physics? thank you very much for this videos already!!!
The right triangle can be used to establish dy/dt. Ladder length is constant. Because of it we know y = 9 feet and we know dy/dt is negative (y is losing height, 8 ft). We also know -dy/dt = dx/dt and we know when y = 9, dy/dt = -16.00 feet/sec, so dx/dt = 16.00 feet/sec. gravity = 32 feet/sec^2 or 9.8 meter/sec^2

At 3:35 , isn't 8 and 15 a constant as well? But we still took the derivative like normal, unlike Z, which became 0

@ 10:39 "I'm gonna use sin θ." Sin θ involves value(s) that you had to calculate; whereas cos θ involves only given information. Therefore recommend using cos θ because there's less opportunity for error.

but you need to calculate the derivative of sinθ, so it would be using cosθ. doing the derivative of cosθ would be -sinθ which is more work and opportunity for error

@@superepiic No, sine or cosine is not the issue. The issue is that d sin θ/dt is related to dy/dt (a calculated value); whereas, d cos θ/dt is related to dx/dt (a given value). It makes no difference if you use sine or cosine in practical terms bcz the triangle is a Pythagorean triple: 8, 15, 17. With that fact in hand, it is unlikely that you will make error calculating either ratio.

A 10-foot ladder is standing vertically against the side of a house. The base of the ladder is pulled away from the side of the house at the rate of 1 foot per second. How fast will the top of the ladder by falling down the side of the house 9 second after the base begins being pulled away from the house?
Thanks Kang
the foot of the ladder leaning against the wall is 6ft away from the wall and its top is 8ft above the ground. what is the length of the ladder? A.4ft B.12ft C.16ft D.100ft E.5ft What is the correct answer?

@pickolzi5312

Sorry for being late but for anyone else who needs it. A is a variable and it is changing(isn't a constant) so you can find the derivative of it as (dA/dt). The derivative of Z is 0 because Z IS A constant, Z never changes unlike x, y, or A, and the derivative of a constant is 0.

for anyone else, I feel like it still wasn't explained in a way that is truly understandable. You cannot take the derivative of z, because z is representing the length of the ladder. unlike x, y, and a that all change as the ladder moves, no matter where the ladder moves, the ladders length (z) does not change. a 17 foot ladder is still going to be a 17 foot ladder at any value of x,y, or a.
Why the speed of the sliding ladder on the foot is different from the one in the top?
Why can't I do this looking at it for the first time? Is it because I don't have enough background knowledge? I'm a a generally intelligent student and I'm tired of calc rn I'm not getting probs instantly unlike other students?? Can someone give me a cure?

z is constant because it is the length of the ladder. On the other hand, x, represents the distance of the foot of the ladder to the wall and y represents the height of the top of the ladder. Therefore, x and y are always changing meaning they are not constant.

Velocity is a vector. The negative simply implies that the object is moving on the opposite side. (For example, left). Negatives do exist in velocity. Only in speed, you cannot have negatives (because its scalar)

You cannot ignore the acceleration due to gravity. Students who need help will only get confused. Units attached to the variables are critical. You cannot add and subtract variables with different units, but you can multiply, divide and apply exponents to these variables and their units with the same operation. Please help students - don't confuse them

Time rates is for Calculus is just mathematical representation of variable equations. Its an application of the rate of change neglecting the effects of referential frames. And always assumes constant change. If it was introduced to Physics, then it could have an additional effects from the referential frame, eg. Gravity, air resistance, mass/weight, force (pull or push) and other contributors.
