Sand pours out of a right, conical container at a rate of 24 cubic feet per minute. The initial height of the sand cone is 30 feet and the initial radius is 15 feet. When the height is 18 feet, the radius is 9 feet. How quickly is the height of the sand changing when the radius is of the sand cone is 2 feet?

At a sand and gravel plant, sand is falling off a conveyor and onto a conical pile at a rate of 20 cubic feet per minute. The diameter of the base of the cone is approximately three times the altitude. At what rate is the height of the pile changing when the pile is 12 feet high? (Hint: The formula for the volume of a cone is V = 1/3πr2h.)

Gravel is being dumped from a conveyor belt at a rate of 30 cubic feet per minute. It forms a pile in the shape of a right circular cone whose base diameter and height are always equal. How fast is the height of the pile increasing when the pile is 22 feet high? Recall that the volume of a right circular cone with height h and radius of the base r is given by V = 1/3πr^2h
