Consider an expanding sphere of instantaneous radius $R$ whose total mass remains constant. The expansion is such that the instantaneous density $\rho$ remains uniform throughout the volume. The rate of fractional change in density $\left(\frac{1}{\rho} \frac{d \rho}{dt}\right)$ is constant. The velocity $v$ of any point on the surface of the expanding sphere is proportional to

The weight $W$ of a certain stock of fish is given by $W = nw,$ where $n$ is the size of the stock and $w$ is the average weight of a fish. If $n$ and $w$ change with time $t$ as $n = 2t^2 + 3$ and $w = t^2 - t + 2,$ then the rate of change of $W$ with respect to $t$ at $t = 1$ is
