Problem

Water enters an empty upright right circular cone at a constant rate of 2 m3/min2\,\text{m}^3/\text{min}. The cone is 10 m10\,\text{m} tall with a base radius of 5 m5\,\text{m}. How fast is the water level hh rising, in m/min\text{m}/\text{min}, at the instant when the water is 6 m6\,\text{m} deep?
