    I think the problem is even simpler if you use the chain rule this way: dV/dt = dV/dh * dh/dt. Once you have the formula for V(h), take the derivative and replace dV/dh with that. You're given dV/dt so plug that in too, then all you have to do is then solve for dh/dt.

    This could be done really easily, though. The rate of change of height is the rate of flow divided by the area at the height. In this case, the radius is 1/2 the height, and the area is pi times the radius squared. So the area as a function of height is 1/4pi*h^2. At 2cm high, the area then is exactly pi. And the rate of change of height is flow/area =(1cm^3/s)/picm^2 = 1/pi cm/s.

    Hint: For a cone dV/dh = π r^2, in every case. For this case r/h = 2/4 => r/2 = 2/4. Therefore r = 2×2÷4 = 1. dV/dt = dV/dh·dh/dt = (π·1^2)dh/dt. Hence dh/dt = dV/dt ÷ π = 1 ÷ π centimetres per second. ◼

    when you fill a cone with water, water height and radius increase if its rate of change of its volume is constant. the rate of change of the speed of increasing of the radius and height is decreasing (logically due to the cone shape) so how can we calculate this acceleration of in this case deceleration.

    I think it would be better if you were to explain the mentality behind the concepts you are using in the actual problem, especially because every example is different. I think most people understand things best when they are given a reason as to why they’re doing something, such as just finding the derivative of both sides of the basic area of a cone in respect to time, then plugging in the values that are given; Always dumb things down as much as possible, it will make more sense later

    Is that an exact measurement? Does it corroborate with other results? What is your sample size? Are there any outliers that could skew the data? How did you test problem difficulty- with human subjects or using a metric? Also, did you know that the purpose of Sal's channel is to teach, NOT to do the world's hardest problems on a dare?

    Sal, I challenge you to do this problem. I bet you can't do it. A) "Water runs into a spherical bowl of radius 10 ft at a rate of 25 pi ft^3/min. How fast is the water level rising when the water is 6 feet deep?" B) "Find the depth of the water when the bowl is filled to 2/3 capacity"
