A stone is dropped into some water and a circle of radius r is formed and slowly expands. The perimeter of the circle is increasing at 3 m / s. At the moment the radius is exactly 2m, what rate is the radius of the circle increasing?

    The relation between perimeter and radius is P = 2 pi r

    dP/dr = 2pi

    dP/dt = 3

    when r = 2 dr/dt = dP/dt * dr/DP = 3 * 1/2pi = 0.477 m/s

    I believe it would be 6 due to the radius being a half of the actual circumfrence
