In calm waters, the oil spilling from the ruptured hull of a grounded tanker spreads in all directions. Assuming that the area polluted is a circle and that its radius is increasing at a rate of 3ft/sec, determine how fast the area is increasing when the radius of the circle is 30 feet. Hint: consider that the radius r is a function, and we know the rate of change of r with respect to time.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the area pollute sis assumed to be a circle, we will be using the formula for calculating the area of a circle to solve the problem.

Area of a circle A = πr²

r is the radius of the circle

The rate at which the area is increasing is expressed as dA/dt. According to chain rule, dA/dt = dA/dr*dr/dt where;

dr/dt is the rate at which the area is increasing.

If dA/dr = 2πr (by mere differentiation)

dA/dt = 2πr * dr/dt

Given dr/dt = 3ft/sec and r = 30feet

dA/dt = 2π(30) * 3

dA/dt = 180π ft/sec

Hence, the area is increasing at the rate of 180π ft/sec

step-by-step explanation:

one of the most important purposes of surface treatment is to alter surface properties according to the requirement of specific applications. for example, hydrophobic coating has been utilized on windshield and eyeglasses. gold atom monolayer on substrate has become a popular surface bioconjugation strategy.
