A spherical balloon is inflated so that its volume is increasing at the rate of 3 cubic feet per minute. How fast is the radius of the balloon increasing when the radius is 2 feet?

Respuesta :

The rate at which the spherical balloon's radius is increasing is

3/16π ft/min when the volume is increasing at the rate of 3 ft³/min.

Given, a spherical balloon is inflated so that its volume is increasing at the rate of 3 cubic feet per minute.

we have to find that how fast is the radius of the balloon increasing when the radius is 2 feet.

as, we know the volume of the balloon be,

V = 4/3πr³

now we have to find the rate of change of radius,

On differentiating both the sides with respect to time, we get

V' = 4/3π(3r²)dr/dt

V' = 4πr²dr/dt

as, the rate of change of volume of the balloon be, 3 ft³/min

V' = 3

3 = 4πr²dr/dt

dr/dt = 3/4πr²

Now, on putting r = 2, we get

dr/dt = 3/4π(2)²

dr/dt = 3/16π

so, the radius of the balloon increase at the rate of 3/16π.

Hence, the radius of the balloon increase at the rate of 3/16π.
