A related rate problem

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 11-11-19] [Hit: ]
Plug in the values of r and dA/dt.dV/dt = [sqrt(2)/2][10] = 5sqrt(2) cubic meters per second.......
At a certain moment the surface area of a sphere is 8 m2
and increasing at a rate of 10m2/sec. Determine how fast the volume of the sphere is changing at this moment

Use the given surface area to calculate the radius.

Take the time derivative of area and volume and use the common dr/dt to create dV/dt as a function of dA/dt.

Calculate dV/dt when dA/dt = 10 m^2/sec

A = 4 pi r^2 = 8 pi

r^2 = 2

r = sqrt(2)

V = (4/3) pi r^3

dV/dt = (4/3) pi (3r^2) dr/dt = 4 pi r^2 dr/dt

dA/dt = 4 pi (2r) dr/dt

dr/dt = [1/(8 pi r)] dA/dt

Substitute dr/dt into dV/dt.

dV/dt = [(4 pi r^2)/(8 pi r)]dA/dt

Simplify.

dV/dt = [r/2] dA/dt

Plug in the values of r and dA/dt.

dV/dt = [sqrt(2)/2][10] = 5sqrt(2) cubic meters per second.
