A spherical party balloon is being inflated with helium pumped in at a rate of 10 cubic feet per minute. How fast is the radius growing at the instant when the radius has reached 1 ft? HINT [See Example 1.] (The volume of a sphere of radius r is V = 4/3 πr3. Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Answer :

Answer:

The radius is growing at a rate of   [tex]\frac{dr}{dt} = \frac{10}{4 \pi} = 0.795[/tex] ft per minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given we know that

[tex]\frac{dV}{dt} = 10[/tex]

And we know as well that .

[tex]V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3[/tex]

Since everything is changing with the time we can compute the implicit  derivative and we would get that

[tex]\frac{dV}{dt} = 10 = 4\pi r^2 \frac{dr}{dt}[/tex]

We are told that we are looking for how fast is the radius growing at the instant when the radius has reached 1 ft, therefore  [tex]r = 1.[/tex]

And when we solve for  [tex]\frac{dr}{dt} = \frac{10}{4 \pi} = 0.795[/tex]

  Rate of increase in the radius of the balloon will be 0.80 cubic feet per minute when the radius is 1 feet.

Volume of sphere:

  •   Volume (V) of a sphere is given by the expression,

           [tex]V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3[/tex]

           Here, [tex]r=[/tex] Radius of the sphere

          If we have to calculate the increase in the volume, differentiate

          the expression with respect to time,

          [tex]\frac{d}{dt}(V)=\frac{d}{dt}(\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3)[/tex]

          [tex]V'=\frac{4}{3}\pi \frac{d}{dt} [(r)^3][/tex]

               [tex]=\frac{4}{3}\pi (3r^2)\frac{dr}{dt}[/tex]

               [tex]=4\pi r^2(\frac{dr}{dt})[/tex]

Given in the question,

[tex]V'=10 \text{ cubic feet per minute}[/tex]

[tex]r=1\text{ feet}[/tex]

[tex]10=4\pi (1)^2(r')[/tex]

[tex]r'=\frac{10}{4\pi}[/tex]

   [tex]=0.795[/tex]

[tex]r'\approx 0.80[/tex] cubic feet per minute

     Therefore, rate of increase in radius of the balloon will be 0.80 cubic feet per minute when the radius is 1 feet.
