120π cms s^-1

Explanation:

Assuming this is a right circular cone, then by proportion, we can say that the radius and height of the large cone is in proportion to the radius and height of the smaller cone of height h

Therefore, 2040=rh, ie , r=h2........[1]

Volume of the cone is given by V=13πr2h, and substituting for r from .....[1], V=13π[h2]2h = πh312.

V=πh312......[2]. Differentiating wrt t,

dVdt=πh24dhdt, but it is given that dVdt=5

So, 5=πh24dhdt, solving for dhdt'

dhdt=[20πh2]. When h=20, dhdt=[120π].

Hope this was helpful.
