Question Number 132440 by liberty last updated on 14/Feb/21

A vessel containing water has the   shape of and inverted right circular  cone with base radius 2m and height 5m  The water flows from the apex  of the cone at a constant rate   of 0.2 m^3 /min. Find the rate at  which the water level is dropping  when the depth of the water is  4m.

The volume of the water at any  time t is V=(1/3)π^2 h  We are given (dV/dt) = −0.2 and asked  to find (dh/dt) when h=4 . (dV/dt) is negative  the volume is decreasing .  from proportional sides (r/h)=(2/5)   r= ((2h)/5) ⇒V=((4πh^3 )/(75)) and (dV/dh)=((4πh^2 )/(25))   (dV/dt)=(dV/dh)×(dh/dt) ; −0.2 = ((4πh^2 )/(25))×(dh/dt)   (dh/dt) = −(5/(4πh^2 )) when h=4  : (dh/dt)∣_4  = −(5/(64π)) ≈ −0.0249 m/min

h_0 =5 m  r_0 =2 m  V_0 =((πr_0 ^2 h_0 )/3)  (V/V_0 )=((h/h_0 ))^3   V=((h/h_0 ))^3 V_0   (dV/dt)=3((h/h_0 ))^2 (V_0 /h_0 )×(dh/dt)=πr_0 ^2 ((h/h_0 ))^2 (dh/dt)  ⇒(dh/dt)=((dV/dt)/(πr_0 ^2 ((h/h_0 ))^2 ))=((−0.2)/(π×2^2 ×((4/5))^2 ))=−(5/(64π))  ≈−0.025 m/min =−1.49 m/h
