Problem

The height of a tank in the form of an inverted cone is 10 m10\,\mathrm{m} and the radius of its circular base is 2 m2\,\mathrm{m}. The tank contains water and leaks through a hole at its vertex at a rate of 0.02 m3 s−10.02\,\mathrm{m^3\,s^{-1}}. Find the rate at which the water level changes and the rate at which the radius of the water surface changes when the water height is 5 m5\,\mathrm{m}.
