Question Number 17704 by Tinkutara last updated on 09/Jul/17

A monkey climbs up a slippery pole for 3 seconds and subsequently slips for 3 seconds. Its velocity at time t is given by v (t) = 2t(3 − t) ; 0 < t < 3 and v (t) = − (t − 3)(6 − t) for 3 < t < 6 s in m/s. It repeats this cycle till it reaches the height of 20 m. At what time is its average velocity maximum?

at t=(9/4) s .

$$\mathrm{at}\:\boldsymbol{\mathrm{t}}=\frac{\mathrm{9}}{\mathrm{4}}\:\mathrm{s}\:. \\ $$

v_(avg) =(s/t) for the climb between t=0 and t=3s v=2t(3−t)=6t−2t^2 s=3t^2 −((2t^3 )/3) ⇒ (s/t)=3t−((2t^2 )/3) (v_(avg) )_(max) = max. slope of tangent (from origin) to s-t graph. ⇒ at such point (ds/dt) =(s/t) 6t−2t^2 =3t−((2t^2 )/3) or ((4t^2 )/3)=3t ⇒ t=0, (9/4) s . as at t=0, v_(avg) =0 but at t=9/4 , v_(avg) is a maximum.

First v_(av) (t) is the average velocity from 0 to t and v_(av) (t) = (1/t) ∫_( 0) ^t v(t)dt then (d/dt)v_(av) (t) = (1/t)v(t) − (1/t^2 )∫_0 ^t v(t) dt For v(t)=2t(3−t) (d/dt)v_(av) (t)=3−(4/3)t We search for (d/dt)v_(av) (t)=0 ⇒t=9/4∈(6k,6k+3) for ∃(k+1)∈N→ ok For v(t)=(t−3)(t−6) (d/dt)v_(av) (t)=(2/3)t−(9/2) We search for (d/dt)v_(av) (t)=0 ⇒t=6.75∉(6k+3,6k+6) for ∃(k+1)∈N →not ok The extremum is t=9/4<3 For t=3 →(d/dt)v_(av) (3)<0 ⇒ max(v_(av) )=v_(av) (9/4)
