the volume of a cone is V = π r 2 h 3
in this case, we can relate h and r as we know that the slope = h r = 10 5 = 2
We can use a single variable in a formula to represent the volume.
V = π ( h 2 ) 2 h 3 = π h 3 12
differentiating wrt time, it follows that
V . = 3 π h 2 h . 12 = π h 2 h . 4
so to address the question
V . = π 8 2 2 4 = 32 π   c m 3 / sec
