Question

If water is poured into an inverted hollow cone whose semi-vertical angle is 30°, so that its depth (measured along the axis) increases at the rate of`( 1"cm")/sec`. Find the rate at which the volume of water increasing when the depth is 2 cm.

Solution

Let r be radius, h be the height, θ be the semi-vertical angle and V be the volume of the water at any time t.

Given : `"dh"/dt = (1"cm")/sec`, θ = 30° 

Now, V = `(1)/(3)pir^2h`

But, tan 30° = `r/h`

∴ `(1)/sqrt(3) = r/h`

∴ r = `h/sqrt(3)`

∴ V = `(1)/(3)pi(h/sqrt(3))^2h = pi/(9)h^3`

Differentiating w.r.t. t, we get,

`"dV"/dt = pi/(9) xx 3h^2 "dh"/dt = pi/(3)h^2"dh"/dt`

When h = 2cm, then

`"dV"/dt = pi/(3) xx (2)^2 xx 1 = (4pi)/(3)`

Hence, the volume of water is increasing at the rate of `((4pi)/3)"cm"^3/sec`
