Volume v = a2h/3; dv/dt = a2(dh/dt)/3; dh/dt = (3dv/dt)/(a2) = 3·35cm3/s/(4cm2) = 26.25 cm/s
Rate of change of level is constant
Sam A.
asked 11/10/23An inverted pyramid is being filled with water at a constant rate of 35 cubic centimeters per second. The pyramid, at the top, has the shape of a square with sides of length 2 cm, and the height is 9 cm.
Find the rate at which the water level is rising when the water level is 6 cm.
