A lighthouse is located on a small island 3 km away from the nearest point p on a straight shoreline is the beam of light moving along the shoreline when it is 1 km from p is 83.78 km/min
3*10/9*8pi = dx/dt
80pi/3 = dx/dt
dx/dt = 83.78 km/min
Thus, the beam of light is sweeping along the shore at the rate of 83.78 km/min when the beam is 1 km from the point P and light makes four revolutions per minute.
