The volume of the spherical balloon is expressed as V = 4/3πr³ where r is the radius of the spherical balloon. If the spherical balloon is inflated with gas at the rate of 500 cubic centimetres per minute then dV/dt = 500cm³.
Using chain rule to express dV/dt;
dV/dt = dV/dr*dr/dt
dr/dt is the rate at which the radius of the gallon is increasing.
From the formula, dV/dr = 3(4/3πr^3-1))
dV/dr = 4πr²
dV/dt = 4πr² *dr/dt
500 = 4πr² *dr/dt
If radius r = 40;
500 = 4π(40)² *dr/dt
500 = 6400π*dr/dt
dr/dt = 500/6400π
dr/dt = 5/64π
dr/dt = 0.245cm/min
Hence, the radius of the balloon is increasing at the rate of 0.245cm/min
The Celcius and kelvin scale are related unit for unit. One degree unit on the Celcius scale is equivalent to one degree unit on the kelvin scale. The only difference between these two scales is the zero point.
