5. Sand is dumped off a conveyor belt into a pile at the rate of 2 cubic feet per minute. The sand pile is shaped like a cone whose height and base diameter are always equal. At what rate is the height of the pile growing when the pile is 5 feet high? (The volume of a cone is fr2h where r is the radius of the base and h is the height:)

Differentiating with respect to time

Basic Power Rule:

f(x) = cxⁿ f’(x) = c·nxⁿ⁻¹

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

$\displaystyle \frac{dV}{dt} = 2 \ ft^3/min\\b = h\\h = 5 \ ft$

Step 2: Rewrite Volume Formula

We need to rewrite the cone volume formula in terms of height h only.

Base b = diameter d of the circular base

Define: b = dSubstitute: b = 2r

We are given that the base of the cone is the same as the height.

Define: b = 2rSubstitute: h = 2r

Now solve for height.

Divide 2 on both sides: h/2 = rRewrite expression: r = h/2

Now find new volume formula.

Define [VC]: $\displaystyle V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2h$ Substitute: $\displaystyle V = \frac{1}{3} \pi (\frac{h}{2})^2h$ Exponents: $\displaystyle V = \frac{1}{3} \pi (\frac{h^2}{4})h$ Multiply: $\displaystyle V = \frac{1}{12} \pi h^3$

We now have the same volume formula in terms of height h only.

Step 3: Differentiate

Basic Power Rule: $\displaystyle \frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{1}{12} \pi \cdot 3 \cdot h^{3-1} \frac{dh}{dt}$ Simplify: $\displaystyle \frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{1}{4} \pi h^{2} \frac{dh}{dt}$

Step 4: Solve for height rate

Substitute: $\displaystyle 2 \ ft^3/min = \frac{1}{4} \pi (5 \ ft)^{2} \frac{dh}{dt}$ Isolate h rate: $\displaystyle \frac{2 \ ft^3/min}{\frac{1}{4} \pi (5 \ ft)^{2}} = \frac{dh}{dt}$ Exponents: $\displaystyle \frac{2 \ ft^3/min}{\frac{1}{4} \pi (25 \ ft^2)} = \frac{dh}{dt}$ Multiply: $\displaystyle \frac{2 \ ft^3/min}{\frac{25}{4} \pi \ ft^2} = \frac{dh}{dt}$ Divide: $\displaystyle \frac{8}{25 \pi} \ ft/min = \frac{dh}{dt}$ Rewrite: $\displaystyle \frac{dh}{dt} = \frac{8}{25 \pi} \ ft/min$

Here this tells us that the rate at which the height is moving at a rate of 0.101859 feet per minute.
