radius of a right circular cylinder is increasing at a rate of 6 inches per minute, and the height is decreasing at a rate of 4 inches per minute. what is the rate of change of the surface area when the radius is 6 inches and the height is 18 inches?



Answer :

The rate of change of the surface area when the radius is 6 inches and the height is 18 inches is 979.68 in² per minute.

Given:

radius of a right circular cylinder is increasing at a rate of 6 inches per minute, and the height is decreasing at a rate of 4 inches per minute.

we are asked to find the rate of change of the surface area when the radius is 6 inches and the height is 18 inches.

we have dr/dt = 6 in/min and dh/dt = -4 in/min

Volume, V = πr²h

Differentiate the above expression to get:

dV/dt = 2πrh dr/dt + πr² dh/dt

SUbstitute the value we get:

dV/dt = 2π(6)(18)(6) + π(6)²(-4)

= 4069.44 - 452.16

= 3617.28 in³ per minute.

The volume is increasing at a rate of  3617.28 in³ per minute.

Area = 2πr(h+r)

Differentiate the above expression:

dA/dt = 2π {(h+r) dr/dt + r (dh/dt + dr/dt)}

dA/dt = 2π {(18+6)(6) + 6(-4+6)}

= 2π(144 + 12)

= 312π

= 979.68 in² per minute.

The area is increasing at a rate of 979.68 in² per minute.

We have dr/dt = 6 in/min and dh/dt = -4 in/min

In geometry, it is defined as a three-dimensional shape having two circular shapes at a distance called the height of the cylinder.

We know the volume of the cylinder is given by:

Volume, V = πr²h

Differentiate the above expression to get:

dV/dt = 2πrh dr/dt + πr² dh/dt

Substitute the value we get:

dV/dt = 2π*6*18*6 + π*6² * -4

= 4069.44 - 452.16

= 3617.28 in³ per minute.

The volume is increasing at a rate of 3617.28 in³ per minute.
