I was trying to solve a question and couldn't find the answer. Can someone please tell me where I am going wrong?
Question:
Water is leaking out of an inverted conical tank at a rate of 10000cm^3/min at the same time water is being pumped into the tank at a constant rate. The tank has height of 6m and the diameter at the top is 4m. If the water level is rising at a rate of 20cm/min when the height of the water is 2m, find the rate at which water is being pumped into the tank.
My answer:
h/6=r/2
r=h/3
v=(1/3)pi*r^2*h
v=(1/3)pi(h^3/9)
dv/dt = (pi*h^2)/9 * dh/dt
dv/dt = [pi* 40000 * 20] / 9
dv/dt=279252 cm^3/min
Can someone tell me where I am going wrong? Also, please do it using the same method and not the tan-vertex one.
