The height of a cylinder is increasing at a constant rate of 6 feet per second, and the volume is decreasing at a rate of 171 cubic feet per second. At the instant when the height of the cylinder is 6 feet and the volume is 1254 cubic feet, what is the rate of change of the radius? The volume of a cylinder can be found with the equation V = Tr²h. Round your answer to three decimal places.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is related rates in calculus, as far as I can tell from the info you've provided.  It's nice to see students are still trying to conquer its vagueness!

Start with the formula for volume of a cylinder:

[tex]V=\pi r^2h[/tex] and then find its derivative with respect to time:

[tex]\frac{dV}{dt}=\pi  (r^2\frac{dh}{dt}+2r\frac{dr}{dt}h)[/tex]

From that formula it looks like we need a value for dV/dt, r, dh/dt, and h; dr/dt is our unknown.  We have that

dV/dt = -171

dh/dt = 6

h = 6 and

V = 1254

We need a value for r.  We can find it using the last 2 values listed above in the volume formula:

[tex]1254=\pi r^2(6)[/tex] and

[tex]\frac{1254}{6\pi } =r^2[/tex] and

[tex]66.52676621=r^2[/tex] and

r = 8.156394

NOW we have everything we need to fill in the derivative for the volume:

[tex]-171=66.52676621(6)\pi +6(2)(8.156394)\pi \frac{dr}{dt}[/tex] which simplifies to

[tex]-171=1254+307.4888096\frac{dr}{dt}[/tex] and

[tex]-1425=307.488096\frac{dr}{dt}[/tex] so

[tex]\frac{dr}{dt}=-4.634[/tex] ft/sec

The rate of change of the radius with time is a partial derivative of the rate

of change of volume with time.

At the instant the height of the cylinder is 6 feet is the radius is decreasing

at a rate of approximately 4.634 ft./s.

Reasons:

The given parameters are;

Rate of increase of the height of the cylinder, [tex]\dfrac{dh}{dt}[/tex] = 6 ft./s

Rate of decrease of the volume of the cylinder, [tex]\dfrac{dV}{dt}[/tex] = 171 ft.³/s

Height of the cylinder, h = 6 ft.

Volume of the cylinder, V = 1254 ft.³

The formula for the volume of the cylinder, V = π·r²·h

Solution:

By partial differentiation, we have;

[tex]\dfrac{dz}{du} = \mathbf{\dfrac{\partial z}{\partial x} \cdot \dfrac{dx}{du} + \dfrac{\partial z}{\partial y} \cdot \dfrac{dy}{du}}[/tex]

Therefore;

[tex]\dfrac{dV}{dt} = \dfrac{\partial (\pi \cdot r^2 \cdot h) }{\partial r} \cdot \dfrac{dr}{dt} + \dfrac{\partial (\pi \cdot r^2 \cdot h)}{\partial h} \cdot \dfrac{dh}{dt} = \pi \cdot \left(2 \cdot r \cdot h \cdot \dfrac{dr}{dt} + r^2 \cdot \dfrac{dh}{dt} \right)[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{dV}{dt} = \mathbf{\pi \cdot \left(2 \cdot r \cdot h \cdot \dfrac{dr}{dt} + r^2 \cdot \dfrac{dh}{dt} \right)}[/tex]

The value of the radius, r, in the given condition is therefore;

[tex]r = \sqrt{\dfrac{V}{\pi \cdot h} }[/tex]

Which gives;

[tex]r = \sqrt{\dfrac{1254}{\pi \times 6} } = \dfrac{\sqrt{209 \cdot \pi} }{\pi}[/tex]

Therefore, we get;

[tex]-171 = \mathbf{\pi \cdot \left(2 \times \dfrac{\sqrt{209 \cdot \pi} }{\pi} \times 6 \times \dfrac{dr}{dt} + \left(\dfrac{\sqrt{209 \cdot \pi} }{\pi} \right)^2 \times6 \right)}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{dr}{dt} =\dfrac{-171-1254}{12 \cdot \sqrt{209 \cdot \pi} } = \dfrac{-475}{4 \cdot \sqrt{209 \cdot \pi} } \approx -4.634[/tex]

[tex]\mathrm {The \ rate \ of \ change \ of \ the \ radius \ with \ time} \ \dfrac{dr}{dt} \approx -4.634 \ ft./s[/tex]
