'A spherical balloon is being filled with air at constant rate of 2 cm /sec: How fast is the radius increasing when the radius is 3 cm'
Vishal P.
Air is being pumped into a spherical balloon so that its volume increases at a rate of 30cm^3/s. How fast is the surface area of the balloon increasing when its radius is 12cm? Recall that a ball of radius r has volume V=(4/3)r^3 and surface area S=4pi*r^2
