A spherical ball of salt is dissolving in water in such a manner that the rate of decrease of volume at any instant is proportional to the surface. Prove that the radius is decreasing at a constant rate.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to show that the radius \( r \) of a spherical ball of salt is decreasing at a constant rate as it dissolves in water, given that the rate of decrease of volume is proportional to the surface area of the sphere. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Volume and Surface Area of a Sphere**: The volume \( V \) of a sphere is given by the formula: \[ V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 ...
