The volume of spherical balloon being inflated changes at a constant rate. If initially its radius is 3 units and after 3 seconds it is 6 units. Find the radius of balloon after t seconds.

Answer» Here, Volume is changing at a constant rate.
So, `(dV)/dt = k`, where `k` is a constant.
Now, Volume of a sphere, `V = 4/3pir^3`
So, `(dV)/dt = 4/3**3pir^2(dr)/dt`
`=>(dV)/dt = 4pir^2(dr)/dt`
As,`(dV)/dt = k`.So,
`=>kdt = 4pir^2dr`
Now, integrating both sides,
`=>kt+c = 4/3pir^3+c_1`->(1)
`=>kt+C = 4/3pir^3`, where `C= c-c_1`
So, at `(r,t) = (3,0)`
`=>C = 4/3pi**(3)^3 => C= 36pi`
At`(r,t) = (6,3)`
`=>k(3) + 36pi = 4/3pi(6)^3=>3k = 288pi-36pi=>k = 84pi`
Putting values of `C` and `k` in (1),
`84pit+36pi = 4/3pir^3=>84t+36 = 4/3r^3`
`=>r^3 = (63t+27) => r = (63t+27)^(1/3)`
So, at any time `t` radius of the baloon will be `(63t+27)^(1/3)`.
