Related rate problem General question about Volume of a cylinder

OpenStudy (precal):

\[V=\pi*r^2h\]

OpenStudy (precal):

How is dv/d related to dr/dt if h is constant?

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

dv/d(?)

OpenStudy (precal):

sorry dv/dt

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

chain rule

OpenStudy (precal):

by the way the cylinder is a right circular cylinder

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

\[\large{\cfrac{dV}{dt} = \pi*2*r*\cfrac{dr}{dt}*h}\]

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

I used the chain rule as @ganeshie8 mentioned. See, pi and h are already constant so we don't need to differentiate them.

OpenStudy (precal):

h is just a number because it is a constant so therefore you used the change rule, ok I see that one now.

OpenStudy (precal):

How is dv/dt related to dh/dt if r is constant?

OpenStudy (precal):

that one is chain rule as well, correct?

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Yeah

OpenStudy (precal):

How is dv/dt related to dr/dt and dh/dt if neither r nor h is constant? ok this one I do know, this one I use product rule

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Yes very good

OpenStudy (precal):

Thanks

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

np :)
