Water is leaking out of an inverted conical tank at a rate


Question: Water is leaking out of an inverted conical tank at a rate of 6,500 cm3/min at the same time that water is being pumped into the tank at a constant rate. The tank has height 6 m and the diameter at the top is 4 m. If the water level is rising at a rate of 20 cm/min when the height of the water is 2 m, find the rate at which water is being pumped into the tank. (Round your answer to the nearest integer.)

Answer will be in these units: cm3/min
