$A$ particle moves along a straight line such that its distance $s$ in time $t$ seconds is given by $s = t + 6t^2 - t^3$. After what time is the acceleration zero?

The diameter and altitude of a right circular cone,at a certain instant,were found to be $10 \ cm$ and $20 \ cm$ respectively. If its diameter is increasing at a rate of $2 \ cm/s$,then at what rate must its altitude change,in order to keep its volume constant (in $cm/s$)?

$A$ ladder $5 \ m$ long is leaning against a wall. The bottom of the ladder is pulled along the ground away from the wall at the rate of $2 \ m/sec$. How fast is its height on the wall decreasing when the foot of the ladder is $4 \ m$ away from the wall?

$A$ spherical ball of salt is dissolving in water in such a manner that the rate of decrease of the volume at any instant is proportional to its surface area. Prove that the radius is decreasing at a constant rate.

$A$ ladder is resting against a wall at an angle of $30^\circ$ with the wall. $A$ man is ascending the ladder at the rate of $3 \, ft/sec$. His rate of approaching the wall is:

$A$ spherical snowball is forming such that its volume is increasing at the rate of $8 \text{ cm}^3/\text{sec}$. Find the rate of increase of its radius when the radius is $2 \text{ cm}$.
