5 area = 4 pi r^2 and volume = (4 /3) pi r^3
like area = dV/dr = 3(4/3) pi r^2
4 C
5 area = 4 pi r^2 and volume = (4 /3) pi r^3
like area = dV/dr = 3(4/3) pi r^2

Meh
No Name is 100% correct :)

Thanks @No name
me
For two objects experiencing between them, the strength of the force increases as Response area increases, and decreases as Response area increases. pls help me
