A 14-foot ladder is perched on a vertical pole. The ladder is sliding so that the base of the ladder is moving away from the pole at a rate of 2 ft / min. How fast is the angle between the top of the ladder and the vertical pole changing, the instant the top of the ladder is 8 feet off the ground?

A firefighter carries a hose up a ladder to a height of 10.0 m, so that she can spray water onto a burning roof that is 9.00 m high. She holds the hose horizontally, and sees that the water strikes the roof 7.0 m in front of her position (i.e. horizontal component of displacement is 7.0 m). The hose is connected to a very large, pressurized chamber in the fire truck, which is sitting at ground level. What is the...
