### 1.13 Evaporation of a Spherical Droplet

**Problem Statement:**
Consider a spherical droplet of liquid evaporating at a rate proportional to its surface area. This relationship is described by the differential equation:

\[
\frac{dV}{dt} = -kA
\]

where:
- \( V \) = volume (mm\(^3\))
- \( t \) = time (min)
- \( k \) = evaporation rate (mm/min)
- \( A \) = surface area (mm\(^2\))

**Task:**
Use Euler’s method to compute the volume of the droplet over a time interval from \( t = 0 \) to 10 minutes, utilizing a step size of 0.25 minutes. Assume:
- \( k = 0.1 \) mm/min
- The initial radius of the droplet is 3 mm.

**Objective:**
Assess the validity of your computational results by:
1. Determining the radius of your final computed volume.
2. Verifying consistency with the defined evaporation rate.
