A spherical balloon is filled with 3536 π cubic meters of helium gas. If a leak in the balloon causes the gas to escape at the rate of 70 π cubic meters per minute, then the rate (in meters per minute) at which the radius of the balloon decreases 50 minutes after the leakage began is1. 1/92. 1/23. 2/94. 35/18 |

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 35/18 Concept: A spherical balloon is filled with 3536 π cubic meters of helium gas. The leakage rate of Helium gas from a balloon is \(\frac{{dV}}{{dt}} = - 70π ~\frac{{{m^3}}}{{min}}\) The volume of spherical balloon is, \(V = \frac{4}{3}π {r^3}\) The radius of the balloon decreases after the leakage after "t" time period is, \(\frac{{dV}}{{dt}} = 4π {r^2}\frac{{dr}}{{dt}}\).............(1) Calculation: Given: Vo = 3536π m3, t = 50 min The rate of leakage from balloon is, \(\frac{{dV}}{{dt}} = - 70π \) After integration, we will get ∴ V = -70πt + C At t = 0, ⇒ V = Vo ∴ C = Vo ⇒ V = Vo -70πt Volume of balloon of after 50 minutes: V = 3536π - (70π × 50) V = 36π m3 But the volume of balloon is, \(V = \frac{4}{3}π {r^3}\) Therefore, \( \frac{4}{3}π {r^3}=36\pi\) r = 3 m ..............(at 50 min) The radius of balloon decreases after the leakage after "t" time period is, \(\frac{{dr}}{{dt}} = \left[ {\frac{{dV}}{{dt}}} \right]\frac{1}{{4\pi {r^2}}}\)................(from eq.1) \( = - 70\pi \times \frac{1}{{4\pi \times 9}} = - \frac{{70}}{{36}}=-\frac{35}{18}\) (-ve sign indicates rate of decreases) |
