Let r be the radius or sphere and v be the volume at the sphere.
we have volume or sphere v = 4 3 π r 3
Given d r d t = 4   m m / s
Differentiate with t
d d t ( v ) = d d t [ 4 3 π r 3 ] d v d t = 4 3 π d d t ( r 3 ) d v d t = 4 π 3 ( 3 r 2 ) d r d t d v d t = 4 π r 2 d r d t (2)
At  D = 60   m m r = π 2 = 60 2 = 30   m m ( 2 ) d v d t = 4 π ( 30 ) 2 ( 4 ) = 14400 π
