imagine slicing through a sphere with a plane (sheet of paper) the smaller piece is produced is called a spherical cap. its volume is $V= \pi h^2(3r-h)/3$ where r is the radius and h is the the thickness find dr/dh for a sphere with a volume of $\frac{ 5\pi }{ 3 }$

well we will have to find r and h that correspond to the V=5pi/3 thing. We are also going to differentiate r with respect to h. Do we know a relationship between just r and h for a sphere?

well second part of problem says evaluate this derivative when r=2 and h=1

i have the answer from back of the book if it helps answer is saying $\frac{ h-2r }{ h }$

so $\frac{5\pi}{3}=\frac{\pi h^2(3r-h)}{3} => 5=h^2(3r-h)$ see what you get when you try to find dr/dh

$V= \pi h^2(3r-h)/3$ $V'= \pi/3~[ (h^2)'(3r-h)+h^2(3r-h)']$ $V'= \pi/3~[ 2h~h'(3r-h)+h^2(3r'-h')]$ now, h' = dh/dh = 1, sooo $V'= \pi/3~[ 2h~(3r-h)+h^2(3r'-1)]$

since we are given V as a constant, V' = 0 and we can solve for r' in terms of h

freckles and i have the same outcome

i deleted that at first thinking V was changing for a second. then i realized V wasn't changing (like this had nothing to do with volume changing over time). Just the radius and height is changing as we move from one point to another point inside the sphere.

$0= \pi/3~[ 2h~(3r-h)+h^2(3r'-1)]$ $0= 2h~(3r-h)+h^2(3r'-1)$ $-2h~(3r-h)=h^2(3r'-1)$ $-\frac2h~(3r-h)=3r'-1$ $-\frac2h~(3r-h)+1=3r'$ $-\frac2{3h}~(3r-h)+\frac13=r'$
