Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of a cone is expressed as shown;
V = πr²h/3
The rate of change of volume is expressed as;
dV/dt = ∂V/dr * dr/dt + ∂V/dh * dh/dt
dV/dr is the rate of change of volume with respect to radius
∂V/dh is the rate of change of volume with respect to height
dr/dt is the rate of change in radius = 1.7 in/s
dh/dt is the rate of change in height = 2.2 in/s
∂V/∂r = 2πrh/3
if r = 185 and h = 134
∂V/∂r = 2π(185)(134)/3
∂V/∂r = 51, 893.73 in²
Also ∂V/∂h = πr²/3
if h = 134 in
∂V/∂h = π(134)²/3
∂V/∂h = π(134)²/3
∂V/∂h = 18,793.95in²
Substitute the given values into the differential equation above
dV/dt = ∂V/dr * dr/dt + ∂V/dh * dh/dt
dV/dt = 51, 893.73 *(1.7) + 18,793.95 *(2.2)
dV/dt = 88,219.341 + 41,346.68
dV/dt = 129,566.021 in³/s
Hence the volume of the cone is changing at 129,566.021 in³/s
