A tank is in the form of an inverted cone having an altitude of 16 m and a radius of 4 m. Water is flowing into the tank at a rate of 2 cubic meters per minute. How fast is the water level rising when the water is 5 m deep?

Step 1
The formula for the volume of a cone is V = (1/3)πr²h, where r is the radius and h is the height. In this case, the radius and height are not constant, they are changing as the water level rises. However, we know that the radius and height are proportional Show more…

A water tank is in the shape of frustum of a cone with height 6 m. and upper and lower radii 4 m. and 2 m., respectively. If water pours into the tank at a rate of 20 m3 /min, how fast is the water level rising when the water is 3m from the top?

a water tank has the shape of an inverted circular cone with a base radius of 2m and a height of 4m. if water is being pumped into the tank at a rate of 2 cubic meters per minute, find the rate at which the water is rising when the water is 3m deep.

A tank is shaped like an upside-down square pyramid, with base of $4 \mathrm{~m}$ by $4 \mathrm{~m}$ and a height of $12 \mathrm{~m}$ (see the following figure). How fast does the height increase when the water is $2 \mathrm{~m}$ deep if water is being pumped in at a rate of $\frac{2}{3} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{sec} ?$
