Ex 6.1, 6 The radius of a circle is increasing at the rate of 0.7 cm/s. What is the rate of increase of its circumference? Let r be the radius of circle & C be the circumference of circle Given that Radius of a circle is increasing at the rate of 0.7 cm/sec i.e. š š/š š = 0.7 cm/sec We need find rate of change of circumference of circle w. r. š” time i.e. we need to calculate š šŖ/š š We know that Circumference of circle = 2Ļr Now, šš¶/šš” = (š(2šš))/šš” šš¶/šš” = 2Ļ š š/š š šš¶/šš” = 2Ļ Ć 0.7 šš¶/šš” = 1.4Ļ (From (1): šš/šš” = 5 ) Since circumference is in cm & time is in sec šš¶/šš” = 1.4Ļ cm/sec Hence, circumference of circle is increasing at the rate of 1.4Ļ cm/sec
