Chain Rule, Log Differentiation & Rate of Change · Question 124 of 130

How fast is the water level rising when the water is 4 m deep?

Question 124

MediumOriginal question

Water is poured at a steady 2 m³/min into a tank shaped like a cone, held vertex down. The tank is 10 m deep and the radius of its top is 5 m. When the water is hh m deep, its surface is a circle of radius rr m.

How fast is the water level rising when the water is 4 m deep?

Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. V=πh312V = \frac{\pi h^{3}}{12}, so dVdt=πh24dhdt\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{\pi h^{2}}{4}\frac{dh}{dt}.

  2. 2=π×164dhdt=4πdhdt2 = \frac{\pi \times 16}{4}\frac{dh}{dt} = 4\pi\frac{dh}{dt}, so dhdt=12π\frac{dh}{dt} = \frac{1}{2\pi} m/min.

Worth noting

18π\frac{1}{8\pi} m/min uses dVdh=πh2\frac{dV}{dh} = \pi h^{2}, which belongs to a cone with r=hr = h.
