A patrol car is parked 50 feet from a long warehouse The light on the car turns at a rate of 30 revolutions per minute. How fast is the light beam moving along the wall when the beam makes the fol lowing angles with the line perpendicular from the light to the wall?
(a)=30° (b)= 60° (c)=70°
(a)=30° (b)= 60° (c)=70°

If x is the distance from the closest point on the wall,
x/50 = tanθ
1/50 dx/dt = sec^2(θ) dθ/dt
x/50 = tanθ
1/50 dx/dt = sec^2(θ) dθ/dt
