g water is poured into a right cylindrical tank at a rate of 6 cubic inches per minute. if the radius of the base is 20 incheas long; how fast is the hieght changing when the water level is 12 inches high?



Answer :

Water is increasing at a rate of ( 3/200π ) inch/min in a cylindrical tank.

As per the question we are provided with ,

r = 20 inch                                                                    equation 1

( dV/dt ) = 6 cubic inch per min                                   equation 2

We need to calculate (dh/dt) and to calculate this we can use the formula of volume of cylinder.

volume of cylinder = V

V = π[tex]r^{2} h[/tex]                                                                        equation 3

Substitute value of r from equation 1 in equation 3, we will get

V = π × [tex](20^{2} )[/tex] × h

V = π (400) h

Differentiate with respect to time , we get

( dV/dt ) = 400π ( dh/dt )

Substitute value of ( dV/dt ) from equation 2  , we get

6 = 400 π ( dh/dt )

( dh/dt ) = ( 3/200π ) inch/min

Thus, ( 3/200π ) inch/min is the rate of increase of height of water.
