Answer

$\frac{dS}{dt}=\frac{4}{3}$ $\frac{cm^2}{min}$

Work Step by Step

Let suppose, the edge length $=x$, then $V=x^3$ Differentiate on both sides; $\frac{dV}{dt}=3x^2\frac{dx}{dt}$ $3x^2\frac{dx}{dt}=10$ $\frac{dx}{dt}=\frac{10}{3x^2}$ And, $S=6x^2$ $dS=12x\frac{dx}{dt}$ putting value of $\frac{dx}{dt}$. $=12x(\frac{10}{3x^2})$ $=\frac{120x}{3x^2}$ $=\frac{40}{x}$ when $x=30$, we get, $\frac{dS}{dt}=\frac{40}{30}$ $\frac{dS}{dt}=\frac{4}{3}$ hence, $\frac{dS}{dt}=\frac{4}{3}$ $\frac{cm^2}{min}$
