Sand is pouring from a pipe at the rate of 12 cm3/s. The falling sand forms a cone on the ground in such a way that the height of the cone is always one-sixth of t heradius of the base. How fast is the sand cone increasing when the height is 4 cm?
The volume of a cone with radius r and height h is given by the formula
According to the question,
Substituting in the formula,
The rate of change of the volume with respect to time is
Show that of all the rectangles inscribed in a given fixed circle, the square has the maximum area.
