Water runs into a conical tank at the rate $9\text{ ft}^3/\text{minutes}$. The tank stands point down and has a height of $10\text{ ft}$ and a base radius of $5\text{ ft}$. How fast is the water level rising when the water is $6\text{ ft}$ deep? [5]

  • Inflow rate: $\dfrac{dV}{dt} = 9 \text{ ft}^3/\text{min}$ - Cone, point down: height $H = 10$ ft, base radius $R = 5$ ft - Find: $\dfrac{dh}{dt}$ when $h = 6$ ft Step 1: Volume of a cone $$V = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h$$ Step 2: Similar triangles $$\frac{r}{h} = \frac{R}{H} = \frac{5}{10} = \frac{1}...
