Q. The surface area of a sphere is increasing at a rate of 14π 14 \pi square meters per hour.\newlineAt a certain instant, the surface area is 36π 36 \pi square meters.\newlineWhat is the rate of change of the volume of the sphere at that instant (in cubic meters per hour)?\newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) 36π 36 \pi \newline(B) (14π)3 (\sqrt{14 \pi})^{3} \newline(C) 21π 21 \pi \newline(D) 712 \frac{7}{12} \newlineThe surface area of a sphere with radius r r is 4πr2 4 \pi r^{2} .\newlineThe volume of a sphere with radius r r is 43πr3 \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3} .
  1. Find Radius of Sphere: First, find the radius of the sphere using the surface area formula: Surface Area = 4πr24 \pi r^2. Given Surface Area = 36π36 \pi, we have 36π=4πr236 \pi = 4 \pi r^2.
  2. Solve for r: Divide both sides by 4π4 \pi to solve for r2r^2: r2=36π4π=9r^2 = \frac{36 \pi}{4 \pi} = 9.
  3. Calculate Rate of Change: Take the square root of both sides to find rr: r=9=3r = \sqrt{9} = 3 meters.
  4. Find dV/drdV/dr: Now, use the formula for the rate of change of volume with respect to the surface area: dVdt=dVdrdrdt\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{dV}{dr} \cdot \frac{dr}{dt}.
  5. Substitute rr into dVdr\frac{dV}{dr}: Calculate dVdr\frac{dV}{dr} using the volume formula V=43πr3V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3: dVdr=4πr2\frac{dV}{dr} = 4 \pi r^2.
  6. Calculate drdt\frac{dr}{dt}: Substitute r=3r = 3 into dVdr\frac{dV}{dr}: dVdr=4π(3)2=4π9=36π\frac{dV}{dr} = 4 \cdot \pi \cdot (3)^2 = 4 \cdot \pi \cdot 9 = 36 \cdot \pi.
  7. Find dVdt\frac{dV}{dt}: The rate of change of the surface area, drdt\frac{dr}{dt}, is given as 14π14 \pi.
  8. Find dVdt\frac{dV}{dt}: The rate of change of the surface area, drdt\frac{dr}{dt}, is given as 14π14 \pi.Now, multiply dVdr\frac{dV}{dr} by drdt\frac{dr}{dt} to find dVdt\frac{dV}{dt}: dVdt=(36π)×(14π)\frac{dV}{dt} = (36 \pi) \times (14 \pi).\newlineOops, this is incorrect. We need to find drdt\frac{dr}{dt} from the given rate of change of the surface area, not use the surface area rate directly.
