Question

The length ℓ, width w, and height h of a box change with time. At a certain instant the dimensions are ℓ = 8 m and  w = h = 3 m, and ℓ and w are increasing at a rate of 4 m/s while h is decreasing at a rate of 6 m/s. At that instant find the rates at which the following quantities are changing.

(a) the volume (in m³/s)
m³/s
(b) the surface area (in m²/s)
