Provide solution for RD Sharma maths class 12 chapter Differential Equation exercise 21.2 question 11

Answers (1)

Answer:

 \frac{\mathrm{d} r}{\mathrm{d} t}=-k

Hint:

 Let the surface be A

Rate of evaporation,

\frac{\mathrm{d} v}{\mathrm{d} t}

Using formula,

v=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3},\quad A=4\pi r^{2}

Given:

 Rain drop evaporates at a rate proportional to its surface area

Solution:

\begin{aligned} &\frac{\mathrm{d} v}{\mathrm{d} t}\propto A \\ &\frac{\mathrm{d} v}{\mathrm{d} t}=-kA \\ &\frac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} t}\left ( \frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3} \right )=-k(4\pi r^{2}) \\ &\frac{4}{3}\pi (3r^{2})\frac{\mathrm{d} r}{\mathrm{d} t}=-4\pi r^{2} \\ &\frac{\mathrm{d} r}{\mathrm{d} t}=-k \end{aligned}
