Question

The radius of a circle is increasing at the rate of 0.7 cm/s What is the rate of increase of its circumference?

Solution

At any instant of time t let the radius of the circle be r and its circumference be C, then C=2πr
Rate of increase of circumference dCdt=2πdrdt
(Differentiating w.r.t. t, by chain rule)
Where, \frac{dr}{dt} is rate of increase of radius, so drdt=0.7 cm/s
dCdt=2π(0.7)cm/s=1.4πcm/s (drdt=0.7cm/s given)
Hence, rate of increase of circumference is 1.4π cm/s
