A spherical balloon is filled with cubic meters of helium gas. If a leak in the balloon causes the gas to escape at the rate of cubic meters per minute then the rate (in meters per minute) at which the radius of the balloon decreases after the leakage began is
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
C.
Step-by-step solution
After $\begin{aligned} r & =9 \\ \frac{d v}{d t} & =4 \pi r^2\left(\frac{d r}{d t}\right) \\ 72 \pi & =4 \pi \times 9 \times 9\left(\frac{d r}{d t}\right) \\ \frac{d r}{d t} & =\left(\frac{2}{9}\right)\end{aligned}
