can someone please explain how to solve question 9 :may/june 2010-paper 3(variant 1)
Q10(i).
(dA/dt) = k [(4/3)πr^3]
(dA/dt) = (dr/dt) x (dA/dr)
A = 4πr^2
(dA/dr) = 8πr
(dr/dt) = 2
(dA/dt) = (dr/dt) x (dA/dr)
(dA/dt) = (2) x (8πr)
(dA/dt) = 16πr
(dA/dt) = k [(4/3)πr^3]
(dr/dt) x (dA/dr) = k [(4/3)πr^3]
16πr = k [(4/3)πr^3]
Substitute '5' in the place of 'r' in the above equation to calculate the value of the constant 'k'.
16πr = k [(4/3)πr^3]
80π = k [500π/3]
0.48 = k
Substitute the value of 'k' back in the main equation.
(dr/dt) x (dA/dr) = k [(4/3)πr^3]
(dr/dt) x ( 8πr ) = (0.48) [(4/3)πr^3]
(dr/dt) = (1.92/24)πr^2]
(dr/dt) = 0.08πr^2
Q10(ii).
(dr/dt) = 0.08r^2
(1/r^2) dr = 0.08 dt
Integrate both the sides.
- (1/r) = 0.08t + c
Substitute '5' and '0' in places of 'r' and 't' respectively to calculate the value of the constant 'c'.
- (1/r) = 0.08t + c
- (1/5) = c
Put the value of 'c' back in the integrated equation.
- (1/r) = 0.08t + c
- (1/r) = 0.08t - (1/5)
- (1/r) = - [ -0.08t + (1/5) ]
1/r = -0.08t + (1/5)
1/r = (1/5) - 0.08t
(5/r) = 1 - 0.4
5/(1-0.4) = r
Therefore, an expression for 'r' in terms of 't' is 'r = 5/(1-0.4)'.
