MHB *Volume of a cone change of rate of volume with respect to h and r

[karush]

(a) Find the rate of change of the volume with respect to the height if the radius is constant

vol of right circular cone is $$V=\frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h$$

from this $$h=\frac{3V}{\pi r^2}$$

$$\frac{dh}{dt}=\frac{3}{\pi r}\frac{dV}{dt}$$

$$\frac{\pi r}{3}\frac{dh}{dt}=\frac{dV}{dt}$$

not sure about this we don't have t or rate of change of height

this next question is the same except height is constant

(b) Find the rate of change of the volume with respect to the radius if the height is constant.

(a) Find the rate of change of the volume with respect to the height if the radius is constant

vol of right circular cone is $$V=\frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h$$

from this $$h=\frac{3V}{\pi r^2}$$

$$\frac{dh}{dt}=\frac{3}{\pi r}\frac{dV}{dt}$$

$$\frac{\pi r}{3}\frac{dh}{dt}=\frac{dV}{dt}$$

(b) Find the rate of change of the volume with respect to the radius if the height is constant.

They are looking for expressions for dh/dt and dr/dt in terms of variables. So solve your equation in a) for dh/dt.

Re: Volume of a cone change of rate of volumn in respect to h and r

so this is the ans for (a) $$\frac{dh}{dt}=\frac{3}{\pi r}\frac{dV}{dt}$$

The way I interpret these problems, there is no need to introduce a variable for time. You simply need to differentiate with respect to the stated variable.

Re: Volume of a cone change of rate of volumn in respect to h and r

so just took out dt... $$dh=\frac{3}{\pi r}dV$$

(a) Find the rate of change of the volume with respect to the height if the radius is constant

(b) Find the rate of change of the volume with respect to the radius if the height is constant.

a) You are being asked to find $$\frac{dV}{dh}$$.

b) You are being asked to find $$\frac{dV}{dr}$$.

Re: Volume of a cone change of rate of volumn in respect to h and r

$$ \displaystyle
dh=\frac{3}{\pi r}dV
\text { then }
\frac{dV}{dh}
=\frac{\pi\text{ r}}{3}
$$
$$\text{ and }$$
$$r=\sqrt{\frac{3V}{\pi h}}$$
$$\text { so }$$
$$dr=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2h\sqrt{\frac{\pi v}{h}}}dV$$
$$\text{ and }$$
$$\frac{dV}{dr}=\frac{2h\sqrt{\frac{\pi v}{h}}}{\sqrt{3}}$$

I was expecting something more simple for answer?

Re: Volume of a cone change of rate of volumn in respect to h and r

What I meant to do is as follows:

Given:

$$V=\frac{\pi}{3}r^2h$$

then:

$$\frac{dV}{dh}=\frac{\pi}{3}r^2$$

$$\frac{dV}{dr}=\frac{2\pi}{3}rh$$
