1.47 diagram 1
Figure 3 shows a hollow right circular cone with radius 3 metres and height 4 metres above the vertex A\displaystyle A
The cone is fixed with its axis of symmetry vertical.
The cone is initially empty.
Water pours into the cone at a constant rate of 9πm3/s\displaystyle 9\pi \mathrm{m}^3/\mathrm{s}
At time t\displaystyle t seconds after the water starts to pour into the cone, the height of the water is h\displaystyle h metres above A\displaystyle A
Find, in m/s\displaystyle \mathrm{m}/\mathrm{s}, the rate at which the height of the water is increasing at the instant when h=2\displaystyle h = 2
