Member warned that the homework template must be used
A cone-shaped water tank is given by [tex]V(h)=\pi(h-\frac{h^2}{3}+\frac{h^3}{27})[/tex]

Show using Torricelli's law law that [tex] -2\sqrt2\pi(\frac{1}{\sqrt{h}}-\frac{2}{3}\sqrt h+\frac{1}{9}h^{3/2})\frac{dh}{dt}=1[/tex]

What I have done so far: [tex] V'=\frac{1}{9}\pi(h-3)^2h'[/tex]

There must be more to the question statement. The given formula for V only tells you something about the shape of the vessel. The thing to be proved has the depth varying with time. Is there fluid flowing in? Out? Through what orifice?
