the radius of a bubble increases by 4%. Calculate the percentage increase in its (a) surface area (b) volume (to three significant figures )​

Sagot :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the radius of a bubble increases by 4%.

Let r be the radius of the spherical bubble, so the new radius of the sphere

[tex]R= r+0.04r = 1.04r\cdots(i)[/tex]

(a) Surface area of the bobble,

[tex]s=4\pi r^2[/tex]

So, the rate of increase of surface area = [tex]4\pi R^2 -4\pi r^2= 4\pi(R^2-r^2)[/tex]

The percentage change in the surface area [tex]= \frac {4\pi(R^2-r^2)}{4\pi r^2}\times 100[/tex]

By using equation (i)

The percentage change in the surface area = [tex]\frac {(1.04r)^2-r^2}{ r^2}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]=(1.04^2-1)\times 100[/tex]

=8.160%

Therefore, the percentage change in the surface area is 8.160%

(b) The volume of the sphere = [tex]4/3 \pi r^3[/tex]

So, the change in the volume = [tex]4/3 \pi R^3-4/3 \pi r^3[/tex]

Percentage change in the volume =

[tex]\frac {4/3 \pi R^3-4/3 \pi r^3}{4/3 \pi r^3}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]=(1.04^3-1)100[/tex] [by using equation (i)]

=12.486%

Therefore, the percentage change in the volume is 12.486%.
