the radius of a sphere is decreasing at a constant rate of 5 centimeters per minute. at the instant when the volume of the sphere is 16111611 cubic centimeters, what is the rate of change of the volume? the volume of a sphere can be found with the equation



Answer :

The rate of change of the volume of sphere when is decreasing at a constant rate is found as  3319.16 cm³/min.

Define the term rate of change?

  • An indicator of how some quantity changes in proportion to another is called a rate of change.
  • If x and y are the independent and dependent variables, respectively, then rate of change is equal to y-to-x conversions.
  • Positive or negative change rates are possible.

For the stated question-

  • A sphere's radius is shrinking at a steady rate of 5 centimeters per minute.
  • The sphere's volume is 1611 cubic centimeters at that precise moment,

Thus, the volume of sphere is found by the equation.

Volume of sphere V = 4/3 πr³

V =  1611 cm³.

1611 = 4/3 πr³

On solving,

r = 7.27 cm

Rate change of the volume;

dV/dt = 4/3 πr² × 3

dV/dt =  4 πr²

Put r = 7.27 cm and π = 3.14

dV/dt =   4 x 3.14 x 7.27²

dV/dt = 3319.16 cm³/min.

Thus, the rate of change of the volume of sphere when is decreasing at a constant rate is found as  3319.16 cm³/min.
