  1. Given Information: Given: Surface area is increasing at 9π9\pi square meters per hour, height h=3h = 3 meters, surface area at a certain instant is 36π36\pi square meters.
  2. Surface Area Formula: Use the formula for the surface area of a cylinder: Surface area = 2πr2+2πrh2\pi r^2 + 2\pi r h.
  3. Calculate Radius: Plug in the given surface area and height to find the radius: 36π=2πr2+2πr336\pi = 2\pi r^2 + 2\pi r\cdot 3.
  4. Find Rate of Change: Simplify the equation: 36π=2πr2+6πr36\pi = 2\pi r^2 + 6\pi r.
  5. Volume Formula: Divide by 2π2\pi to solve for rr: 18=r2+3r18 = r^2 + 3r.
  6. Differentiate Volume: Rearrange the equation: r2+3r18=0r^2 + 3r - 18 = 0.
  7. Find Rate of Change of Radius: Factor the quadratic equation: (r+6)(r3)=0(r + 6)(r - 3) = 0.
  8. Calculate Rate of Change: Find the positive value of rr: r=3r = 3 meters (since radius can't be negative).
  9. Final Rate of Change: Use the formula for the volume of a cylinder: Volume=πr2h\text{Volume} = \pi r^2 h.
  10. Final Rate of Change: Use the formula for the volume of a cylinder: Volume=πr2h\text{Volume} = \pi r^2 h. Differentiate the volume with respect to time to find the rate of change of volume: dVdt=π2r(drdt)h\frac{dV}{dt} = \pi 2r \left(\frac{dr}{dt}\right) h.
