(radius is 6 and height is 9) A) at what rate is the level of the water changing when the water level is 6ft deep? This is -1/4pi ft/min B) at what rate is the radius of the water changing when the water is 6 ft deep? This is -1/12pi so this is where I'm stuck (left a & b maybe could be helpful idk). Assume that at time 0 the tank is full. At what rate is the radius of the water changing at t=6? Last edited by skipjack; September 21st, 2015 at 06:27 PM.
