Expert Solution
Step 1

Given:

Depth of the conical reservoir, h = 20 feet

Radius of the conical reservoir, r = 10 feet

Water is leaking out so that the surface is falling at the rate of 1/2 ft/hr 

i.e) dhdt=-12ft/hr (the rate is negative because, as the water leaks, the height decreases with the time , t)

To Find: The rate at which the water is draining when the water is 8 feet deep.

i.e) to find dVdt when h=8.
