Suppose the snowball in Problem 21 melts so that the rate of change in its diameter is proportional to its surface area. Using the same given data, determine when its diameter will be 2 in. Mathematically speaking, when will the snowball disappear?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The diameter of the snowball will be 2 in. 0.56 minutes and the snowball will not be disappeared.

Step by step solution

01

Analyzing the given statement

Given that the rate of change of the diameter of a snowball is directly proportional to its surface area. Let the diameter of the snowball be D and its surface area be S.

Therefore, dDdtS. Given that the initial diameter of the snowball is 4 in., which becomes 3 in. after 30 min. We have to find the time after which its diameter will be 2 in. and the time after which the snowball will disappear.

02

Determining the differential equation using the given proportionality relation

Given,

dDdtSdDdt=kS(1)

where, k is the constant of proportionality. Now as the snowball is a sphere and we know that The formula of the diameter of the sphere =2r

And Formula of the surface area of sphere =4r2

Where, r is the radius of the sphere (here, snowball).

Thus, from equation (1),

ddt2r=k4r22drdt=k4r2drdt=2kr22

Now one will use this differential equation to solve the question.

03

Step 3: Finding the time after which the diameter of the snowball will be 2 in.

Separating the variables in equation (2),

1r2dr=2kdt

Integrating both sides,

-1r=2kt+C3

Given that initially the diameter of the snowball = 4 in.

So, the radius of snowball, r = 2 in.

When t=0, r=2

Therefore, from (3)

C=-12-1r=2kt-12

Hence,

r=21-2kt4

Now as given that diameter = 3 in. at t=30 min and taking =3.14,

Hence, from (4)

r =21 - 2ktk = - 1.769

Now equation (4) becomes,

r=21+1.769t5

When diameter = 2 in.

i.e., radius, r = 1 in.

So, from (5)

r=21+1.769tt=0.56min

Accordingly, the diameter of the snowball will be 2 in. 0.56 minutes.

04

Step 4: Finding the time after which the snowball will disappear

The snowball will disappear, when diameter = 0 in.

Therefore radius, r = 0 in.

From equation (5),

0=21+1.769t

So, we see that we can鈥檛 find the value there.

Consequently, the snowball will not be disappeared.

Sailboats A and B each have a mass of 60 kg and cross the starting line at the same time on the first leg of a race. Each has an initial velocity of 2 m/sec. The wind applies a constant force of 650 N to each boat, and the force due to water resistance is proportional to the velocity of the boat. For sailboat A the proportionality constants arebefore planing when the velocity is less than 5 m/sec andwhen the velocity is above 5 m/sec. For sailboat B the proportionality constants arebefore planing when the velocity is less than 6 m/sec andwhen the velocity is above. If the first leg of the race is 500 m long, which sailboat will be leading at the end of the first leg?
