| Topic | Connected Rates of Change |
| Type | Sphere: radius rate from volume rate |
| Difficulty | Standard +0.3 This is a standard related rates calculus problem requiring differentiation of the volume formula with respect to time and substitution of given values. While it involves implicit differentiation and the chain rule, it follows a well-established procedure taught explicitly in C3 curricula, making it slightly easier than average but still requiring proper technique. |
| Spec | 1.07r Chain rule: dy/dx = dy/du * du/dx and connected rates |
