Class 12 Maths · Applications Of Derivatives · Very Long Answer #102

A sphere volume increases at 3 cm³/s. Find the rate of increase of its surface area when r=2 cm.

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: 3 cm²/s
  1. For radius r, V=4πr³/3 and S=4πr².
  2. Differentiate in time: V̇=4πr²ṙ and Ṡ=8πr ṙ.
  3. With V̇=3, ṙ=3/(4πr²).
  4. Substitute into Ṡ: Ṡ=8πr·3/(4πr²)=6/r.
  5. At r=2, the surface area increases at 3 cm²/s.
