Problem

Water is being pumped into an empty inverted right circular cone at a constant rate of 2 m3/min2\text{ m}^{3}/\text{min}. The tank has a height of 9 m9\text{ m} and a base radius of 3 m3\text{ m}. What is the rate of change of the water depth hh when the water is 4 m4\text{ m} deep? (a) 23π m/min\dfrac{2}{3\pi}\text{ m/min} (b) 94π m/min\dfrac{9}{4\pi}\text{ m/min} (c) 98π m/min\dfrac{9}{8\pi}\text{ m/min} (d) 38π m/min\dfrac{3}{8\pi}\text{ m/min}
