Answer
View full question & answer→Suppose that radius of spherical bubble is $r$ and its surface area S and volume V .
then$
S=4 \pi r^2 \Rightarrow \frac{d S}{d r}=\frac{d}{d r}\left(4 \pi r^2\right)
$
$\Rightarrow \quad \frac{d S}{d r}=8 \pi r$
Rate of change of surface area w.r.t. time$
\frac{d S}{d t}=2 cm^2 / sec(\text { Given })
$
So, $\quad \frac{d S}{d t}=\frac{d S}{d r} \cdot \frac{d r}{d t}$
Put the values
$\Rightarrow \quad 2=8 \pi r \frac{d r}{d t}$
$\Rightarrow \quad \frac{d r}{d t}=\frac{2}{8 \pi r}=\frac{1}{4 \pi r}$
now, $\quad V =\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \Rightarrow \frac{d V}{d r}=\frac{d}{d r}\left(\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3\right)$
$\Rightarrow \quad \frac{d V}{d r}=\frac{4}{3} \pi \cdot 3 r^2=4 \pi r^2$
So, $\quad \frac{d V}{d t}=\frac{d V}{d r} \times \frac{d r}{d t}$
Put the values
$
\frac{d V}{d t}=4 \pi r^2 \times \frac{1}{4 \pi r}=r
$
When $r=6 cm \frac{d V}{d t}=6 cm^3 / sec$
then$
S=4 \pi r^2 \Rightarrow \frac{d S}{d r}=\frac{d}{d r}\left(4 \pi r^2\right)
$
$\Rightarrow \quad \frac{d S}{d r}=8 \pi r$
Rate of change of surface area w.r.t. time$
\frac{d S}{d t}=2 cm^2 / sec(\text { Given })
$
So, $\quad \frac{d S}{d t}=\frac{d S}{d r} \cdot \frac{d r}{d t}$
Put the values
$\Rightarrow \quad 2=8 \pi r \frac{d r}{d t}$
$\Rightarrow \quad \frac{d r}{d t}=\frac{2}{8 \pi r}=\frac{1}{4 \pi r}$
now, $\quad V =\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \Rightarrow \frac{d V}{d r}=\frac{d}{d r}\left(\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3\right)$
$\Rightarrow \quad \frac{d V}{d r}=\frac{4}{3} \pi \cdot 3 r^2=4 \pi r^2$
So, $\quad \frac{d V}{d t}=\frac{d V}{d r} \times \frac{d r}{d t}$
Put the values
$
\frac{d V}{d t}=4 \pi r^2 \times \frac{1}{4 \pi r}=r
$
When $r=6 cm \frac{d V}{d t}=6 cm^3 / sec$
