we have radius, r = 8/2 = 4 ; height, h = 6 ; dV/dt = 2
to find, dh/dt when h = 3
to eliminate r,
r/h =4/6 therefore, r = 2h/3
expression for v becomes,
V = 1/3 pi (2h/3)^2 h
= (4 pi h^3)/27
differentiating with respect to t,
dV/dt = 4/9 pi h^2 dh/dt
or dh/dt = 9 /(4 pi h^2) dV/dt
substituting h = 3 and dV/dt = 2,
dh/dt = 1/2 pi = 7/44 = 0.16 in/min
and there’s your answer!
