    The volume of a sphere is given by

    V = (4π/3) r^3

    so the radius is given in terms of volume as

    r = (3V / (4π)) ^ (1/3)

    Here, we have V = 5t, where t is time in seconds, and V is measured in cubic feet. The the radius as a function of time is

    r (t) = (3·5t / (4π)) ^ (1/3)

    and its derivative with respect to time is

    r' (t) = (1/3) (15 / (4π)) ^ (1/3) ·t^ (-2/3)

    At t=120 seconds, the rate of increase of the radius is

    r' (120) = (1/3) (15 / (4π)) ^ (1/3) / (120^ (2/3)) ≈ 0.014534 ft/second
