The traffic police has installed Over Speed Violation Detection (OSVD) system at various locations in a city. These cameras can capture a speeding vehicle from a distance of $\displaystyle 300$ m and even function in the dark.
A camera is installed on a pole at the height of $\displaystyle 5$ m . It detects a car travelling away from the pole at the speed of $\displaystyle 20 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$. At any point, $\displaystyle \times \mathrm{m}$ away from the base of the pole, the angle of elevation of the speed camera from the car $\displaystyle C$ is $\displaystyle \theta$. On the basis of the above information, answer the following questions :(i)Express $\displaystyle \theta$ in terms of height of the camera installed on the pole and x .(ii)Find $\displaystyle \frac{d \theta}{d x}$.(iii)Find the rate of change of angle of elevation with respect to time at an instant when the car is $\displaystyle 50$ m away from the pole.If the rate of change of angle of elevation with respect to time of another car at a distance of $\displaystyle 50$ m from the base of the pole is $\displaystyle \frac{3}{101} \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}$, then find the speed of the car.

At any point, $\displaystyle \times \mathrm{m}$ away from the base of the pole, the angle of elevation of the speed camera from the car $\displaystyle C$ is $\displaystyle \theta$. On the basis of the above information, answer the following questions :
(i)
Express $\displaystyle \theta$ in terms of height of the camera installed on the pole and x .
(ii)
Find $\displaystyle \frac{d \theta}{d x}$.
(iii)
Find the rate of change of angle of elevation with respect to time at an instant when the car is $\displaystyle 50$ m away from the pole.
If the rate of change of angle of elevation with respect to time of another car at a distance of $\displaystyle 50$ m from the base of the pole is $\displaystyle \frac{3}{101} \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}$, then find the speed of the car.
Marking-scheme solution
(i)
$\displaystyle \tan \boldsymbol{\theta}=\frac{\mathbf{5}}{\boldsymbol{x}} \Rightarrow \boldsymbol{\theta}=\boldsymbol{\operatorname { t a n }}^{-\mathbf{1}}\left(\frac{\mathbf{5}}{\boldsymbol{x}}\right)$
(ii)
$\displaystyle \frac{d \theta}{d x}=\frac{-5}{5^{2}+x^{2}}$
(a)
$\displaystyle \left.\frac{d \theta}{d t}=\frac{d \theta}{d x} \times \frac{d x}{d t}=\frac{-5}{5^{2}+x^{2}} \times 20\right]_{x=50}$
