Ex 6.1, 2 The volume of a cube is increasing at the rate of 8 cm3/s. How fast is the surface area increasing when the length of an edge is 12 cm?Let š be length of side V be Volume t be time per second We know that Volume of cube = (Side)3 V = šš Given that Volume of cube is increasing at rate of 8 cm3/sec. Therefore š š½/š š = 8 Putting V = šš (ćš(š„ć^3))/šš” = 8 ćšš„ć^3/šš” . šš„/šš„ = 8 ćšš„ć^3/šš„ . šš„/šš” = 8 3šš . šš„/šš” = 8 š š/š š = š/ćššć^š Now, We need to find fast is the surface area increasing when the length of an edge is 12 centimeters i.e. š šŗ/š š for x = 12 We know that Surface area of cube = 6 Ć Side2 S = 6š„2 Finding š šŗ/š š šš/šš” = (š(6š„^2))/šš” = (š(6š„2))/šš” . šš„/šš„ = 6. (š(š„2))/šš„ . šš„/šš” = 6 . (2x) . šš„/šš” = 12š„ . š š/š š = 12š„ . š/ššš = šš/š For š„= 12 cm šš/šš” = 32/12 (From (1): š š/š š = š/(šš^š )) šš/šš” = 8/3 Since surface area is in cm2 & time is in seconds, š šŗ/š š = š/š cm2 /s
