Question

Consider an expanding sphere of instantaneous radius R whose total mass remains constant. The expansion is such that the instantaneous density ρ remains uniform throughout the volume. The rate of fractional change in density (1ρdρdt) is constant. The velocity ν of any point on the surface of the expanding sphere is proportional to

Solution

Let partical on surface moves dR in dt time.

V = dRdt

1ρdρdt = c (∴ C = constant)

dρdt=(M(4/3)π)(−3R4)dRdt

=−3ρdRdt                      .....(ii)

by (i) & (ii)

dRdt∝R
