V = (4/3) pi r3
dV/dt = 4 pi r2 dr/dt = 2 pi (d/2)2 dd/dt
where V is Volume, r is radiusm and d is diameter.
Now just plug in the numbers in teh problem and do the calculation.

asked 11/05/18A spherical snowball is melting so that its diameter is decreasing at rate of 0.1 cm/min. At what is the rate is the volume of the snowball changing when the diameter is 11 cm?
The volume is changing at a rate of (blank) cm^3/min
V = (4/3) pi r3
dV/dt = 4 pi r2 dr/dt = 2 pi (d/2)2 dd/dt
where V is Volume, r is radiusm and d is diameter.
Now just plug in the numbers in teh problem and do the calculation.
