Question

A stone is dropped into a pond causing ripples in the form of concentric circles. The radius r of the outer ripple is increasing at a constant rate at 2 cm per second. When the radius is 5 cm find the rate of changing of the total area of the disturbed water?

Solution

Radius = r

Rate of changes of radius `"dr"/"dt"` = 2

Given r = 5 cm

Area of circle A = πr2

Differentiating w.r.t ‘t’,

`"dA"/"dt" = 2pi"r" "dr"/"dt"`

= 2π (5) (2)

= 20 π

∴ Area of circle (ripple) is increasing at the rate of 20 π cm2/sec.
