A Metal Cone Contracts as It Cools

question 5

Short Answer

A metal cone contracts as it cools. Assume the height of the cone is 20cm and the radius at the base of the cone is 5cm. If the height of the cone is decreasing at 4.0 *10^-5cm per second, at what rate is the volume of the cone decreasing when its height is 18.8cm? (Assume the radius is held constant.)
