The diagram above shows an inverted conical vessel. Its base radius is 8 cm and its height is 20 cm. Water is poured into it at a rate of 9.5 cm3/min. What is the rate of increase of water level when the depth of water is 4.5 cm?
[Ans: 0.933 cm/min]

Liquid is poured into a container at a rate of 12 cm3/s. The volume of liquid in the 1 container is V cm3, where V = (h 2 + 4h) and h cm is the height of the liquid in the 2 container. Find, when V = 16, (a) the value of h, (b) the rate at which h is increasing.
[Ans: (a) h = 4 (b) 2]
