The radius of a sphere is increased by 5% . find percentage increase in volume
Answers
The volume of a sphere can be derived using the equation
v=(4πr 3) /3
Let us assume that the original radius of the sphere as 'r', and the increased radius as 's'. As described in the question, we can deduce that s=r+(5%)r
=> s=r+(5r/100)
=> s=1.05r
The modified volume of the sphere, denoted by v2, can then be calculated using the above formula:
v2=(4πs^3)/3
=> v2=(4π{1.05r}^3)/3
=> v2=(4πr^3)(1.05)^3/3
=> v2={(1.05)^3}v
=> v2=1.158v
This means that the modified volume is 1.158 times the original volume of the sphere due to 5% increase in its radius.
Deducting the increased volume with original volume and multiplying it 100 parts would hence give us the percentage increase in volume of the sphere.
=> % increase in volume of sphere = (v2 - v)*100
= (1.158v - v )*100
= 0.158v*100
= 15.8v
Hence, increasing the radius of a sphere by 5% would result in an approximate increase of 15.8% percent in its volume.
ANSWER:-
v = (4πr 3)/3
s = r + (5r/100)
s = 1.05r
v² = (4πs³)/3
v² = (4π{1.05r}³)/3
v² = (4πr³)(1.05)³/3
v² = {(1.05)³}v
v² = 1.158v
= (1.158v - v)*100
= 0.158v*100
= 15.8v
Answer: 15.8%
