Water is pouring into an inverted cone at the rate of 6 m^3/min =the derivative of Volume = V' = dV/dt.
height of the cone = h = 10 m, radius of base = r = 6 m,
how fast is the water level rising when water is 3 meters deep? h=3
Volume of water in the cone = V = (1/3)Ah = pi(r)^2(h)/3
where A=Area of the base = pi(r)^2
and h= height of the water level
when r=6, h=10
r =6h/10 = .6h
V = (pi/3)(.6h)^2(h) = pi/3(.6)^2(h)^3
V = .12pi(h^3)
take the derivative with respect to time
V' = .36pi(h^2)h'
plug in 3 for h
V'(3) = .36pi(9)h' = 6
h' = 6/3.24pi = 1/.54pi = 100/54pi = 50/27pi = meters per minute
h'= about 0.59 meters per minute = rate of rising water level when height of water = 3 meters
h' = about 0.6 m/min
