Sand is pouring from a pipe at the rate of 12 cm3/s. The falling sand forms a cone on the ground in such a way that the height of the cone is always one-sixth of t heradius of the base. How fast is the sand cone increasing when the height is 4 cm?
The volume of a cone with radius r and height h is given by the formula
According to the question,
Substituting in the formula,
The rate of change of the volume with respect to time is
