Solution

Let at ant instant of time t, the redius of the balloon be r and its volume be V, then

`V = 4/3 pir^3`                      ....(i)

Differentiating (i) w.r.t.t, we get,

`(dV)/dt = (4/3 pi) (3r^2  (dr)/dt)`

= 900 cm3/sec = `(4/3 pi) {3 (15 cm)^2  (dr)/dt}`   ....`(∵ (dV)/ (dr) = 900  cm^3 //sec.)`

`= (dr)/dt = 900/ (4pi xx (15)^2)` cm/sec

`1/pi` cm/sec

∴ Rate of increase of the radius of the balloon  = `1/pi` cm/sec.
