The side of a cube is increasing at a rate of 4 cm/sec. Find the rate of change of the volume of the cube when its side is 5 cm. |

Answer» Let x =side of the cube and V = volume of the cube. `:. V = x^(3)` Give that x = 5 cm and `(dx)/(dt)` = 4cm/sec. Now `(dV)/(dt)=3x^(2).(dx)/(dt)` At x = 5 cm, `(dV)/(dt)=3(5)^(2).4 cm^(3)`/sec =300 `cm^(3)`/sec Therefore the volume will be increased at 300 `cm^(3)`/sec. |
