a spherical snowball is melting in such a way that it always retains spherical shape. The surface area of the snowball is decreasing at the rate of 2 cubic centimeters per second. Find the rate of change of the volume when the surface area is 24 cm^2

Answer:

[tex]V'=-1.3824\ cm^3/s[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate of Change

The surface area of a sphere of ratio r is

[tex]\displaystyle A=4\pi r^2[/tex]

And its volume is

[tex]\displaystyle V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3[/tex]

We know the surface area is [tex]24\ cm^2[/tex], let's find the ratio

[tex]\displaystyle r=\sqrt{\frac{A}{4\pi }}=\sqrt{\frac{24}{4\pi }}=1.382\ cm[/tex]

We'll find the rate of change of the surface area with respect to the time by taking the derivative

[tex]\displaystyle A'=8\pi r r'[/tex]

Solving for r'

[tex]\displaystyle r'=\frac{A'}{8\pi r }[/tex]

Since

[tex]A'=-2 \ cm^2/s[/tex]

(note the correction of the units)

[tex]\displaystyle r'=\frac{-2}{8\pi r }=-0.0576\ cm/s[/tex]

The change of the volume is obtained by taking the derivative:

[tex]V'=4\pi r^2 r'=4\pi \cdot 1.382^2 \cdot (-0.0576)[/tex]

[tex]\boxed{V'=-1.3824\ cm^3/s}[/tex]
