An ice layer of uniform thickness is deposited on an iron sphere of radius $10 \text{ cm}$. The ice melts at a rate of $50 \text{ cm}^3/\text{min}$. When the thickness of the ice layer is $5 \text{ cm}$,the rate at which the thickness of the ice layer is decreasing is ...... $\text{cm/min}$.

Two ships $A$ and $B$ are sailing straight away from a fixed point $O$ along routes such that $\angle AOB$ is always $120^o$. At a certain instance,$OA = 8 \ km$,$OB = 6 \ km$ and the ship $A$ is sailing at the rate of $20 \ km/hr$ while the ship $B$ is sailing at the rate of $30 \ km/hr$. Then the distance between $A$ and $B$ is changing at the rate (in $km/hr$):

If the rate of increase of the surface area of a spherical balloon is $5 \text{ cm}^2/\text{sec}$ and the rate of increase of its volume is $10 \text{ cm}^3/\text{sec}$, then the radius of the balloon at that instant is... (in $\text{ cm}$)

The total revenue in Rupees received from the sale of $x$ units of a product is given by $R(x) = 3x^2 + 36x + 5$. Find the marginal revenue when $x = 5$,where marginal revenue is defined as the rate of change of total revenue with respect to the number of items sold at an instant.

The radius of a circular plate is increasing at the rate of $0.01 \text{ cm/sec}$. When the radius is $12 \text{ cm}$, the rate at which the area increases is (in $\text{cm}^2/\text{sec}$): (in $\pi$)

Consider an expanding sphere of instantaneous radius $R$ whose total mass remains constant. The expansion is such that the instantaneous density $\rho$ remains uniform throughout the volume. The rate of fractional change in density $\left(\frac{1}{\rho} \frac{d \rho}{dt}\right)$ is constant. The velocity $v$ of any point on the surface of the expanding sphere is proportional to
