Question:

The radius of a spherical ball is increasing at the rate of 1m/sec. At the radius equal to 3m, the volume of the ball is increasing at the rate given by :

Options:

$30\pi \, m^3/sec$

$38\pi \, m^3/sec$

$36 \, m^3/sec$

$36\pi \, m^3/sec$

Correct Answer:

$36\pi \, m^3/sec$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → $36\pi \, m^3/sec$

$\frac{dR}{dt}=1m/sec$

$v=\frac{4}{3}πR^3$

$\frac{dv}{dt}=4πR^2\frac{dR}{dt}=4πR^2$

$\left.\frac{dv}{dt}\right]_{R=3}=4π×3^2$

$=36\pi \, m^3/sec$
