An explosion at an oil rig located in gulf waters causes an elliptical oil slick to spread
Question:
An explosion at an oil rig located in gulf waters causes an elliptical oil slick to spread on the surface from the rig. The slick is a constant 9 in. thick. After several days, when the major axis of the slick is 2 mi long and the minor axis is 3/4 mi wide, it is determined that its length is increasing at the rate of 30 ft/hr, and its width is increasing at the rate of 10 ft/hr. At what rate (in cubic feet per hour) is oil flowing from the site of the rig at that time?
