Step 1 :Given the equation of the ellipse is \(9x^{2}+16y^{2}=144\), we can rewrite it as \(\frac{x^{2}}{16}+\frac{y^{2}}{9}=1\).
Step 2 :Taking the derivative of both sides with respect to \(t\), we get \(\frac{2x}{16}\frac{dx}{dt}+\frac{2y}{9}\frac{dy}{dt}=0\).
Step 3 :Simplify the equation to get \(\frac{x}{8}\frac{dx}{dt}+\frac{y}{9}\frac{dy}{dt}=0\).
Step 4 :We are given that \(\frac{dx}{dt}=8\) and \(x=2\), substitute these values into the equation, we get \(\frac{2}{8}*8+\frac{y}{9}\frac{dy}{dt}=0\).
Step 5 :Simplify the equation to get \(\frac{y}{9}\frac{dy}{dt}=-1\).
Step 6 :We need to find \(y\) when \(x=2\), substitute \(x=2\) into the equation of the ellipse, we get \(\frac{2^{2}}{16}+\frac{y^{2}}{9}=1\).
Step 7 :Solve the equation for \(y\), we get \(y=\sqrt{9*(1-\frac{2^{2}}{16})}=\sqrt{7}\).
Step 8 :Substitute \(y=\sqrt{7}\) into the equation \(\frac{y}{9}\frac{dy}{dt}=-1\), we get \(\frac{\sqrt{7}}{9}\frac{dy}{dt}=-1\).
Step 9 :Solve the equation for \(\frac{dy}{dt}\), we get \(\frac{dy}{dt}=-\frac{9}{\sqrt{7}}\).
Step 10 :So, the rate of change of \(y\) with respect to \(t\) when \(x=2\) is \(\boxed{-\frac{9}{\sqrt{7}}}~m/s\).
