Question

A balloon, which always remains spherical, has a variable diameter Find the rate of change of its volume with respect to x .

Open in App
Solution

The diameter of spherical balloon is variable.

Let the radius of spherical balloon be r, diameter be d and the volume of sphere be V.

The variable diameter of spherical balloon is governed by the equation,

d= 3 2 ( 2x+1 )

The radius of spherical balloon is governed by the equation,

r= d 2

Substitute the value of diameter in the above expression.

r= 3 2 ( 2x+1 ) 2 = 3 4 ( 2x+1 )

The volume of the air bubble is given by,

V= 4 3 π r 3 (1)

Substitute the value of r in equation (1).

V= 4 3 π [ 3 4 ( 2x+1 ) ] 3 = 4 3 π× ( 3 4 ) 3 × ( 2x+1 ) 3 = 9 16 π ( 2x+1 ) 3 (2)

Differentiate equation (2) to obtain the rate of change of V with respect to x.

dV dx = 9 16 π d dx ( 2x+1 ) 3 = 9 16 π×3× ( 2x+1 ) 2 ×2 = 9 8 ×3×π× ( 2x+1 ) 2 = 27 8 π ( 2x+1 ) 2

Thus, the volume of bubble is increasing at the rate of 27 8 π ( 2x+1 ) 2 .
