\

A lighthouse is located on a small island \"\" km away from the nearest point \"\" .

\

Light makes four revolutions per minute. 

\

\"\" 

\

Assume A is light house .

\

Consider \"\" is the angle between light house and shore line.

\

\"\" revolution gives \"\" radians.

\

\"\" revolutions gives \"\" radians.

\

\"\" rad/min.

\

\"\"

\

From the triangle \"\",

\

\"\"

\

Differentiate on each side with respect to \"\".

\

\"\".

\

Find the rate at which beam of light moving when it is \"\" km from \"\".

\

Therefore, \"\".

\

if \"\", then \"\".

\

\"\"

\

Substitute values of  \"\" and \"\" in \"\".

\

\"\"

\

Therefore, rate at which beam of light moving when it is \"\" km from \"\" is \"\".

\

\"\"

\

Rate at which beam of light moving along the shoreline when it is \"\" km from \"\" is \"\".
