Q. The surface area of a sphere is increasing at a rate of 14π square meters per hour.At a certain instant, the surface area is 36π square meters.What is the rate of change of the volume of the sphere at that instant (in cubic meters per hour)?Choose 1 answer:(A) 36π(B) (14π)3(C) 21π(D) 127The surface area of a sphere with radius r is 4πr2.The volume of a sphere with radius r is 34πr3.
Find Radius of Sphere: First, find the radius of the sphere using the surface area formula: Surface Area = 4πr2. Given Surface Area = 36π, we have 36π=4πr2.
Solve for r: Divide both sides by 4π to solve for r2: r2=4π36π=9.
Calculate Rate of Change: Take the square root of both sides to find r: r=9=3 meters.
Find dV/dr: Now, use the formula for the rate of change of volume with respect to the surface area: dtdV=drdV⋅dtdr.
Substitute r into drdV: Calculate drdV using the volume formula V=34πr3: drdV=4πr2.
Calculate dtdr: Substitute r=3 into drdV: drdV=4⋅π⋅(3)2=4⋅π⋅9=36⋅π.
Find dtdV: The rate of change of the surface area, dtdr, is given as 14π.
Find dtdV: The rate of change of the surface area, dtdr, is given as 14π.Now, multiply drdV by dtdr to find dtdV: dtdV=(36π)×(14π).Oops, this is incorrect. We need to find dtdr from the given rate of change of the surface area, not use the surface area rate directly.
