  • Answer

A right circular cone with a height of 12 inches and a base radius of 3 inches is filled with water and held with its vertex pointing downward. Water flows out through a hole at the vertex at a rate in cubic inches per second numerically equal to the height of the water in the cone. (For example, when the height of the water in the cone is 4 inches, water flows out at a rate of 4 cubic inches per second.) Determine how many seconds it will take for all of the water to flow out of the cone.
