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.

    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

It makes no difference if you use sine or cosine in practical terms bcz the triangle is a Pythagorean triple: 8, 15, 17.

    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.

    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.
