Oil spilling from a ruptured tanker spreads in a circle on the surface of the ocean. The area of the spill increases at a rate of 81π m^2/min. How fast is the radius of the spill increasing when the radius is 2 m?

Step 1
Step 1: Given that the area of the spill increases at a rate of 81π m^2/min and we need to find how fast the radius is increasing when the radius is 2 m. Show more…

Oil spilled from a ruptured tanker spreads in a circle whose area increases at a constant rate of 8.5 mi^2/hr. How rapidly is the radius of the spill increasing when the area is 8 mi^2?

Oil spilling from a ruptured tanker spreads in a circle on the surface of the ocean. The area of the spill increases at a rate of 9π m²/min. How fast is the radius of the spill increasing when the radius is 10 m? 9/10 m/min 9/20 m/min 9π/20 m/min 9/20π m/min 9π/10 m/min

(a) If $A$ is the area of a circle with radius $r$ and the circle expands as time passes, find $d A / d t$ in terms of $d r / d t$ . (b) Suppose oil spills from a ruptured tanker and spreads in a circular pattern. If the radius of the oil spill increases at a constant rate of 1 $\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ , how fast is the area of the spill increasing when the radius is 30 $\mathrm{m} ?$
