Problem

A cylindrical tank of radius 4 m4\,\text{m} is being drained at 3 m3/min3\,\text{m}^3/\text{min}. Simultaneously, evaporation lowers the water level at 0.10 m/min0.10\,\text{m}/\text{min}. When the water depth is 5 m5\,\text{m}, determine the net rate of change of the water volume in the tank (in m3/min\text{m}^3/\text{min}).
