Q.6. An engineer has designed a lifting device. The handle turns a screw which shortens the horizontal length and
increases the vertical height. The device is modeled by a rhombus with each side 25 cm. The horizontal length
decreases at a rate of 0.3 cm per sec ond as the handle is turned. Then the rate of change of vertical height

Q.11. A manufacturer of chocolates is launching a new product in novelty shaped cardboard boxes. The box is a
cuboid with a cuboid shaped tunnel through it. The volume of the box is 2000 cm 3 . He calculated that total
