Text from the first pages1 2015 IJC H2 Maths Prelim 2 Paper 1 (Suggested Solution) 1 A water tank is in the shape of a vertically inverted cone with height 2 m and based radius 0.5 m. Water is flowing into the tank at a constant rate of 0.01 m 3 s−1. At the same time, water is leaking out of the tank at a constant rate of 41.2 10 m3 s−1 1through a small hole at the vertex. . Find the rate of change of the depth of the water level in the tank at the instant when the depth of the water is 0.5 m. [4] Q1 Solutions Let the radius of the water level be r m and the depth of the water level be h m at time t seconds.
