Solution

The volume V of a right circular cylinder is given by the formula V = πr²h, where r is the radius and h is the height.

Given that the radius r is increasing at a rate of 0.2 cm/sec (dr/dt = 0.2) and the height h is decreasing at a rate of 0.1 cm/sec (dh/dt = -0.1), we want to find the rate of change of the volume dV/dt when r = 1 cm and h = 2 cm.

We can find this by differentiating the volume formula with respect to time t, using the chain rule:

dV/dt = π * (2rh * dr/dt + r² * dh/dt)

Substituting the given values:

dV/dt = π * (2 * 1cm * 2cm * 0.2 cm/sec - 1cm² * 0.1 cm/sec) = π * (0.8 cm³/sec - 0.01 cm³/sec) = π * 0.79 cm³/sec

So, the rate of change of the volume of the cylinder is approximately 0.79π cm³/sec.

A spherical balloon is released from rest and expands as it rises. After rising for t seconds, its radius is r cm, and its surface area is A cm2, where A = 4r2. The initial radius of the balloon is 16 cm. Given that the rate of increase of the radius is constant and has the value of 0.8 cm s– 1, find the rate of increase of A when t = 5.
