Sand is deposited into a pile with a circular base. The volume V of the pile is given by V = r^3/3, where r is the radius of the base, in feet. The circumference of the base is increasing at a constant rate of 5 pi feet per hour. When the circumference of the base is 8 pi feet, what is the rate of change of the volume of the pile, in cubic feet per hour?
i. 8/pi
ii. 16
iii. 40
iv. 40 pi
v. 90 pi

Sagot :

so the sand pile looks more or less like the one in the image below.

let's check its circumference first.  We know that dC/dt = 5π

[tex]C=2\pi r\implies \cfrac{dC}{dt}=2\pi \cfrac{dr}{dt}\implies 5\pi =2\pi \cfrac{dr}{dt}\implies \cfrac{5\pi }{2\pi }=\cfrac{dr}{dt}\implies \boxed{\cfrac{5}{2}=\cfrac{dr}{dt}}[/tex]

hmmm when the circumference  C = 8π, what's the radius "r"?

[tex]8\pi =2\pi r\implies \cfrac{8\pi }{2\pi }=r\implies 4=r[/tex]

now let's take the derivative to the volume equation, and check what dV/dt is

[tex]V=\cfrac{r^3}{3}\implies V=\cfrac{1}{3}r^3\implies \cfrac{dV}{dt}=\stackrel{\textit{chain rule}}{\cfrac{3}{3}r^2\cdot \cfrac{dr}{dt}}\implies \cfrac{dV}{dt}=r^2\cdot \cfrac{5}{2}\implies \cfrac{dV}{dt}=\cfrac{5r^2}{2} \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{when }C=8\pi \textit{ we know that }r=4}{\cfrac{dV}{dt}=\left. \cfrac{5r^2}{2}\right|_{r=4}} \implies \cfrac{dV}{dt}=\cfrac{5(4)^2}{2}\implies \cfrac{dV}{dt}=40[/tex]

The rate of change of the volume is mathematically given as

dV/dt=40

What is the rate of change in the volume of the pile, in cubic feet per hour?

Question Parameter(s):

The volume V of the pile is given by V = r^3/3,

at a constant rate of 5 pi feet per hour

Generally, the equation for the Circumference  is mathematically given as

[tex]C=2\pi r\\\\\ \frac{5}{2}=\frac{dr}{dt}}[/tex]

Therefore

8π=2πr

r=8π/2π

r=4

In conclusion

[tex]V=\cfrac{r^3}{3}[/tex]

Hence

[tex]\frac{dV}{dt}=\cfrac{5r^2}{2} \\\\\\ \frac{dV}{dt}=\cfrac{5(4)^2}{2} \frac{dV}{dt}[/tex]

dV/dt=40
