Problem 14 Easy Difficulty
If a snowball melts so that its surface area decreases at a rate of $ 1cm^2/min, $ find the rate at which the diameter decreases when the diameter is $ 10 cm. $
(a) What quantities are given in the problem?
(b) What is the unknown?
(c) Draw a picture of the situation for any time $ t. $
(d) Write an equation that relates the quantities.
(e) Finish solving the problem.
Answer
a) 1 $\mathrm{cm}^{2} / \mathrm{min}$ and 10 $\mathrm{cm}$
b) the rate that the diameter is decreasing when the diameter is 10 $\mathrm{cm}$
c) See step for answer
d) $\pi \ell^{2}$
e) Diameter is decreasing at a rate of $\frac{1}{20 \pi} \approx 0.016 \mathrm{cm} / \mathrm{min}$

The problem is, if wass noble mouth so that its surface area decrees is at a rate of once had immediate squire permit finding the rate at wage the diameter the Chris's won, the damages tends at the majors. A what quantities are given into problem decreasing breed of surface area and the laugh of the diameter. What is? And no one sounds d prison greed to have to down to see draw a picture of the situation for I'm Tom. So boom, this's a diameter ten. Any time. How's this? Is there a picture of the situation? Fine. Tante. He's right on questions that relates the quantities surface area as is equal to pi if our is down, me too. So this the physical high score you so the fresh ated this equation each side respect too. He have Yes, you. You come too too high. How you So we have he out to sea. Seiko to one over to pile. Holmes asked. You notice it is control. One tougher twenty pie harms one. This's one over Why he has
