# Solution for The Volume of Metal in a Hollow Sphere is Constant. If the Inner Radius is Increasing at the Rate of 1 Cm/Sec, Find the Rate of Increase of the Outer Radius When the Radii - CBSE (Science) Class 12 - Mathematics

ConceptRate of Change of Bodies Or Quantities

#### Question

The volume of metal in a hollow sphere is constant. If the inner radius is increasing at the rate of 1 cm/sec, find the rate of increase of the outer radius when the radii are 4 cm and 8 cm respectively.

#### Solution

$\text { Let }r_1 \text { be the inner radius and } r_2 \text { be the outer radius and V be the volumeof the hollow sphere at any timet. Then },$

$V=\frac{4}{3}\pi\left( {r_1}^3 - {r_2}^3 \right)$

$\Rightarrow \frac{dV}{dt}=4\pi\left( {r_1}^2 \frac{d r_1}{dt} - {r_2}^2 \frac{d r_2}{dt} \right)$

$\Rightarrow {r_1}^2 \frac{d r_1}{dt} = {r_2}^2 \frac{d r_2}{dt} \left[ \because \frac{dV}{dt} = 0 \right]$

$\Rightarrow \left( 4 \right)^2 \times1= \left( 8 \right)^2 \frac{d r_2}{dt}$

$\Rightarrow\frac{d r_2}{dt}=\frac{1}{4}cm/sec$
