Assume that a raindrop evaporates at a rate proportional to its surface area. Form a differential equation involving the rate of change of the radius of the raindrop.
Let r be the radius of the raindrop, V be its volume and A be its surface area
Given
![]()
Negative because V decreases with an increase in t
is a proportionality constant
Now, we know that
![]()
So, we have,
![]()
![]()
![]()
Hence, the required differential equation is ![]()
