A spherical snowball is melting in such a way that its radius is decreasing at rate of 0.3 cm/min. At what rate is the volume of the snowball decreasing when the radius is 17 cm. (Note the answer is a positive number).

Answer:

The volume of spherical snow ball is decreasing at a rate 1088.952 cubic cm per minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

The radius of a melting snowball is decreasing.

[tex]\dfrac{dr}{dt} = -0.3\text{ cm per min}[/tex]

Instant radius = 17 cm

Volume of spherical snow ball =

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

Rate of change of volume =

[tex]=\dfrac{dV}{dt} = \dfrac{d}{dt}(\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3)\\\\\dfrac{dV}{dt} = 4\pi r^2\times \dfrac{dr}{dt}\\\\\dfrac{dV}{dt} = 4(3.14)(17)^2\times (-0.3)\\\\\text{Negative sign shows decrease in volume}\\\\\dfrac{dV}{dt} = -1088.952\text{ cubic cm per min}[/tex]

Thus, the volume of spherical snow ball is decreasing at a rate 1088.952 cubic cm per minute.

The volume of the snowball decreasing when the radius is 17 cm at the rate "1089.5 cm³/min".

Sphere

According to the question,

Radius is decreasing at rate, [tex]\frac{dx}{dt}[/tex] = -0.3 cm/min or,                                            

Radius, r = 17 cm

Let,

The volume be "V".

We know the formula,

→ V = [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex] πr³

By differentiating the terms,

 [tex]\frac{dV}{dt}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex] π.3r² [tex]\frac{dx}{dt}[/tex]

When,

V = 17 cm and [tex]\frac{dx}{dt}[/tex] = -0.3 cm/min the,

→ [tex]\frac{dv}{dt}[/tex] = 4 π (17)².(-0.3)

      = 1089.5 cm³/min

Thus the above answer is correct.
