To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the situation involving the tower and the man moving away from it. ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We have a tower of height 41.6 m and a man whose eye level is 1.6 m from the ground. The man is moving away from the tower at a speed of 2 m/s. We need to find the rate at which the angle of elevation to the top of the tower is changing when the man is 30 m away from the base of the tower. ### Step 2: Set Up the Diagram Let: - \( AD \) be the height of the tower (41.6 m). ...
