Problem

A right circular cylinder changes shape while keeping its volume constant at 100 cm3100\,\text{cm}^3. The radius r(t)r(t) and height h(t)h(t) satisfy πr2h=100\pi r^2 h = 100. At an instant when r=2 cmr = 2\,\text{cm} and drdt=−0.05 cm/s\displaystyle \frac{dr}{dt} = -0.05\,\text{cm/s}, calculate dhdt\displaystyle \frac{dh}{dt} at that instant (include units).
