I have a calculus question and was wondering if some could help me see what I am doing wrong in this question. Thank you
A conical tank with an altitude of 10m and whose base has a radius of 4m is mounted with its vertex down. The tank is full of water which is draining through the vertex at the rate of 5 m^3/min. how fast is the level of the water dropping when the radius is 3?
the answer is 5pi/9
this is how i did it:
r/h=4/10
h=5pi/2
V=[(pi)(r^2)(h)]/3
V=[(pi)(r^2)(5r/2)]/3
V=[pi5r^3]/6
dv/dt=[15pi(r^2)]/6] * dr/dt
5=[(15pi(3^2)]/6] * dr/dt
dr/dt= (2pi)/9
