Assume that the General Sherman tree (Problem 61) produces an annual growth ring of thickness $0.004$ foot. Estimate the resulting increase in the volume of its trunk each year.

Step 1
004 feet, the change in diameter is twice that, so it is 0.008 feet. Show more…

Each year a growing tree adds a new ring to its cross section. Some years the ring is thicker than others. Why do you suppose this happens? Suppose the average thickness of growth rings in the Flintstones National Forest is $0.5 mathrm{cm} .$ About how old is "Old Fred," a famous tree in the forest, if its circumference measures $766 mathrm{cm} ?$

The growth rate of a certain tree (in feet) is given by $y=\frac{2}{t+1}+e^{-t^{2} / 2},$ where $t$ is time in years. Estimate the growth of the tree through the end of the second year by using Simpson's rule, using two sub intervals. (Round the answer to the nearest hundredth.)

Tree Growth After long study, tree scientists conclude that a eucalyptus tree will grow at the rate of $0.6+4 /(t+1)^{3}$ ft per year, where $t$ is time (in years). (a) Find the number of feet that the tree will grow in the second year. (b) Find the number of feet the tree will grow in the third year.
