Ans:
Let the thickness of ice to be ‘a’ at any instant ‘t’.
Volume ‘V’:
V = \frac{4}{3}\pi (10+a)^{3}
\frac{\partial V}{\partial t} = 4\pi (10+a)^{2}.\frac{\partial a}{\partial t} = 50 \frac{cm^{3}}{min}
4\pi (10+5)^{2}.\frac{\partial a}{\partial t} = 50 \frac{cm^{3}}{min}
\frac{\partial a}{\partial t} = \frac{1}{18\pi } \frac{cm}{min}
