Step 1: known Data:
Rate at which Volume of balloon is increasing = dV/dt = +6 cm^3/min
Radius of balloon at required point = R = 5 cm
Unknown Data:
Rate at which radius of balloon is increasing = dr/dt = ?
Step 2: Relation between Volume and Radius of sphere is given by
V = (4/3)*pi*R^3
Step 3: Using Implicit differentiation find rate of change in Volume and Radius
dV/dt = d[4*pi*R^3/3]/dt
dV/dt = (4*pi*3*R^2/3)*dR/dt
dV/dt = 4*pi*R^2*(dR/dt)
dR/dt = (1/(4*pi*R^2))*dV/dt
Step 4: Using known values:
R = 5 cm & dV/dt = 6 cm^3/min
Which gives
dR/dt = (1/(4*pi*5^2))*6
dR/dt = 0.019 cm/min = rate at which radius is increasing
Let me know if you've any query.
A spherical balloon is inflated with gas at a rate of 6 (???) 3 per minute....
A spherical balloon is inflated with gas at a rate of 900 cubic centimeters per minute. (a) Find the rates of change of the radius when r = 40 centimeters and r = 75 centimeters. r = 40 cm/min r = 75 cm/min (b) Explain why the rate of change of the radius of the sphere is not constant even though dV/dt is constant. The rate of change of the radius is a linear relationship whose slope is dV dt...
