Step 1
The formula for the volume of a cylinder is V = πr^2h, where V is the volume, r is the radius, and h is the height (or depth) of the cylinder. In this case, the radius is given as 10 feet, so r = 10. Show more…

a 30ft tall conical water tank with the point oriented downward has a radius of 12 feet at the top. If water flows into the tank at a rate of 2 cubic feet per minute, how fast is the depth of the eater increasing when the water is 10 ft deep?

A conical water tank with vertex down has a radius of 11 feet at the top and is 20 feet high. If water flows into the tank at a rate of 30 ft3/min how fast is the depth of the water increasing when the water is 12 feet deep?

Water pours into a conical tank at a constant rate of 10 ft³ per minute. The tank is ten feet tall and, at its widest, has a radius of 4 feet. How fast is the water level rising when it is 5 feet high (answer in ft/min and round to three decimal places)?
