Answer

a) 0 b) 0

Work Step by Step

a) Using chain rule. $\dfrac{dw}{dt}=\dfrac{\partial w}{\partial x}\dfrac{dx}{dt}+\dfrac{\partial w}{\partial y}\dfrac{dy}{dt}$ or, $=-2x \sin t+2y \cos t$ or, $\dfrac{dw}{dt}=-2\cos t \sin t+2 \sin t \cos t=0$ b) Using direct differentiation. since, $w^2=x^2+y^2=\cos^2 t+\sin^2 t=1$ and $\dfrac{dw}{dt}=0$ Now, $\dfrac{dw}{dt}(\pi)=0$
