Water is leaking out of an inverted conical tank at a rate of 10,000 cm3/min at the same time water is being pumped into the tank at a constant rate If the tank has a height of 6m and the diameter at the top is 4 m and if the water level is rising at a rate of 20 cm/min when the height of the water is 2m, how do you find the rate at which the water is being pumped into the tank?
1 Answer
Let
The volume of the inverted cone of water is then
Now differentiate both sides with respect to time
If
Therefore
