Gravel is being dumped from a conveyor belt at a rate of 30 ft3/min and its coarseness is such that it forms a pile in the shape of a cone whose base diameter and height are always equal. How fast is the height of the pile increasing when the pile is 10 ft high?
Known:
dV/dt=30 ft^3/min
Cone Volume= 1/3(pi)(r^2)(h)
Unkown:
dh/dt= ? when h= 10ft
I am confused about how to find the height and radius of the pile if they are equal.
height=radius
Please help me with this thank you and i am sure that i will be able to solve this problem.
Thank you
