Suppose that the volume V of a rolling snowball increases so that dVdi is proportional to the surface area of the snowball at time t. Show that the radius r increases at a constant rate, that is,drdt is constant.
The volume of the snowball is given by V=43r3, so
Since the change in volume is proportional to the surface area S, with S=4r2, we also have the following for some constant k.
dVdt=cdots k3
dVdt=r4k2
dVdt=k*4r2
dVdt=k*r3
dVdk=k*2r
x
Equating the timo expressions for dvdt oves 4r2drdt=k*((1)-drdt=k1 that is,dT is constant.
