We know that the volume of a cone of tadius r and height h is:
V=13πr2h
We know that the volume of cylinder of radius r and height h is:
V=πr2h
From the exercise, we know that the rate of change of both of volume of the filter and the volume of coffee pot is.
dVdt=10in3min
We can also see that the diameter and the height of the filter is 6, which means h=2r (for the cone).
The radius of the cylinder is always r=3
a. The radius of the pot is r=3. We want to find dhdt
V=πr2h=π9hmidddt
dVdt=9πdhdt
dhdt=dt9π=109πinmin
b. The height of the full cone is h=5 in, which also means that r = 2.5 in.
We want to find dhdt
V=13πr2h=π3(h2)2h=π12h3ddtV=13πr2h=π3(h2)2h=π12h3ddt
dVdt=π123h2dhdt=π4h2dhdt
10=π123h2dhdt=π4h2dhdt
dhdt=1025π4=85πinmin
(The sign of the rate of change of volume is negative, because the volume is decreasing)

(a) How fast is the level in the coffee pot rissing when the coffee in the cone is 5 in
deep?
The volume of a cylinder is V=πr2h, where r is the radius of thee cylinder and h is the height. In
a cylinder, the radius is a constant (in this case 3), so we have
Vcyl=π(3)2h
=9πh
dVcyldt=9πdhdt
The rate of change of volume going into the cylinder is the same as the rate of change of volume of
coffee leaving the cone (since there is nowhere else for it to go). So dVdt=10 for the cylinder. Thus
we have
dVcyldt=9πdhdt
10=9πdhdt
dhdt=109π
(b) How fast is the level in the cone falling at the same instant?
For the cone, if we let y equal the current height of the coffee in the cone and x equal the radius
of the cone at the top of the coffee in the filter, the current volume of coffee Vcone=13πx2y. Since
the radius of the base of the cone is 3 inches and the height of the cone is 6 inches, we know from
smilar triangles that xy=36=12, or x=12y. Differentiating this formula implicitly also gives us
dxdt=12dydt . Therefore, we have:
Vcone=13πx2y
=13π(12y)2y
=112πy3
dVconedt=312πy2dydt
=14πy2dydt
At the given instant, we then have
10=14π(5)2dydt
10(4)25π=dydt

a) Let h be the height os the coffee in the pot.
Volume of the coffee: V=πr2h=9πh
dVdt=9πdhdtdhdt=19πdVdt=19π(10)=109πin/min
b) Radius of the filter: r=h2
Volume of the filter: V=13πr2h=13π(h2)2h=πh312
dVdt=π4h2dhdtfracdhdt=4πh2dVdt=4π(5)2(10)=85πin/min

Step 1:
a. To find the rate at which the level in the pot is rising when the coffee in the cone is 5 inches deep, we need to use related rates. Let's denote the depth of the coffee in the cone as h (in inches) and the radius of the cone as r (in inches).
The volume of a cone can be calculated using the formula: Vcone=13πr2h.
Given that the coffee is draining from the conical filter into the cylindrical coffeepot at a rate of dVdt=10in3min, we can differentiate the volume equation with respect to time to find the rate of change of volume:
dVconedt=ddt(13πr2h).
Since the radius of the cone remains constant, drdt=0. Hence, we can simplify the equation as follows:
dVconedt=13πr2dhdt.
We can rearrange this equation to solve for dhdt:
dhdt=3πr2dVconedt.
Now, when the coffee in the cone is 5 inches deep, we substitute h=5 inches into the equation:
dhdt=3πr2dVconedt.
Step 2:
b. To find how fast the level in the cone is falling, we need to determine dhdt when dhdt is negative. Since the coffee is draining into the cylindrical pot, the level in the cone is decreasing. Therefore, dhdt will be negative.
Using the equation from part a, we substitute dVconedt=10in3min (negative sign due to the decreasing volume) and calculate dhdt:
dhdt=3πr2dVconedt.

Result:
a. The level in the pot is rising at a rate of 10inmin} when the coffee in the cone is 5 inches deep.
b. The level in the cone is falling at a rate of 10inmin} when the coffee in the cone is 5 inches deep.
Solution:
Given:
h = depth of the coffee in the cone (in inches)
V = volume of coffee in the cone (in cubic inches)
We're given that the coffee is draining from the conical filter into the cylindrical coffee pot at a rate of 10in3min. We need to find:
a. How fast is the level in the pot rising when the coffee in the cone is 5 inches deep?
b. How fast is the level in the cone falling then?
Let's solve these questions step by step.
a. How fast is the level in the pot rising when the coffee in the cone is 5 inches deep?
The volume of a cone can be calculated using the formula V=13πr2h, where r is the radius of the cone's base.
Given that the cone is conical, its depth h is related to the depth of the coffee in the cone. We can express this relationship as h=10x, where x is the depth of the coffee in the cone.
To find the rate at which the level in the pot is rising, we need to find dhdt, the rate of change of the height of the coffee in the pot with respect to time.
We can differentiate the equation h=10x with respect to t (time) to find the relationship between dhdt and dxdt:
dhdt=dxdt
We're given that dxdt=10inmin} (since the coffee is draining at a constant rate of 10in3min).
Substituting this value into the equation dhdt=dxdt, we have:
dhdt=10inmin}
Therefore, when the coffee in the cone is 5 inches deep, the level in the pot is rising at a rate of 10inmin}.
b. How fast is the level in the cone falling then?
To find the rate at which the level in the cone is falling, we need to find dxdt, the rate of change of the depth of the coffee in the cone with respect to time.
Using the equation h=10x, we can differentiate it with respect to t:
dhdt=dxdt
Since we're given that dxdt=10inmin}, we can substitute this value into the equation:
dhdt=10inmin}
Therefore, when the coffee in the cone is 5 inches deep, the level in the cone is falling at a rate of 10inmin}.
