An edge of a variable cube is increasing...

An edge of a variable cube is increasing at the rate of 3 cm per second. How fast is the volume of the cube increasing when the edge is 10 cm long?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let `x` be the length of a side and `V` be the volume of the cube. Then,

`V=x^{3}`

`therefore frac{d V}{d t}=3 x^{2} cdot frac{d x}{d t}` (By chain rule)

It is given that,

`frac{d x}{d t}=3 {cm} / {s}`
