Let V be the volume of water in the tank,
h be the height of the water,
r be the radius of the surface of water.
Let x be the rate at which water is being pumped into the tank.
By similar figures,
(400/2)/600 = r/h
r = h/3
dV/dt = [x - (9 X 10^-3)] m^3/min
dh/dt = 0.2 m/min (Be aware of the units)
V = 1/3 pir^2h = 1/3 pi(h/3)^2h = (pi/27)h^3
Differentiate both sides with respect to time, t
dV/dt = (pi/27)(3h^2)dh/dt
x - (9 X 10^-3) = 0.2pi/9 h^2
Put h = 2,
x - (9 X 10^-3) = 0.2pi/9 (2)^2
x = 4pi /45 + 9 X 10^-3
x = 0.288 m^3/min (3 sig. fig.)
So, the rate of water being pumped in is 0.288 m^3/min (2.88 X 10^5 m^3/min)
