Ex 6.1, 12 The radius of an air bubble is increasing at the rate of 1/2 cm/s. At what rate is the volume of the bubble increasing when the radius is 1 cm?Since Air Bubble is spherical Let r be the radius of bubble & V be the volume of bubble Given that Radius of an air bubble is increasing at the rate of 1/2 cm/s i.e. š š/š š = š/š cm/sec We need to calculate the rate is the volume of the bubble increasing when the radius is 1 cm i.e. we need to calculate š š½/š š when r = 1 cm We know that Volume of sphere = V = š/š Ļr3 Now, šš/šš” = š(4/3 šš3)/šš” šš/šš” = 4/3 Ļ (š (š3))/šš” šš/šš” = 4/3 Ļ (š (š3))/šš” šš/šš” = 4/3 Ļ . (š(š3))/šš” Ć š š/š š šš/šš” = 4/3 Ļ . (š(š3))/šš” Ć šš/šš” šš/šš” = 4/3 Ļ .3r2 . šš/šš” šš/šš” = 4/3 Ļ . 3r2 Ć 1/2 šš/šš” = 2šš^2 We need to find šš/šš” at r = 1 cm šš/šš” = 2šć(1)ć^2 ("From (1): " šš/šš”=1/2 cm/s) š š½/š š = šš Since Volume is in cm3 & time is in sec ā“ šš/šš” = šš cm3/sec Hence, Volume is increasing at rate of 2š cm3/sec
