Question:

An oil spill is modelled as a circular disc with radius r km and area A km2. The rate of increase of the area of the oil spill, in km2/day at time t days after it occurs is modelled as:

a. Show that

Given that the radius of the spill at time t = 0 is 1 km, and the radius of the spill at time t = π2 is 2 km:

b. Find an expression for r2 in terms of t

c. Find the time, in days and hours to the nearest hour, after which the radius of the spill is 1.5 km.
