When the radius of a cylinder is 6 ft. and it is increasing at the rate of 2 feet per minute, its volume will change at rate of 509.14 ft³/minute.
Given a cylinder with:
r = radius
h = height = 3/2 . r
The volume of the cylinder is:
V = πr².h
Substitute h = 3/2 . r,
V = πr².(3/2 r)
V = 3/2 . πr³
Take the derivative with respect to t:
dV/dt = 9/2 . πr² . dr/dt
Substitute dr/dt = 2 ft./minute and r = 6 ft.,
dV/dt = 9/2 . π.6²
dV/dt = 9/2 . π.6² = 509.14 ft³/minute.
