Question:medium
The radius of a cylinder is increasing at the rate of 5 cm/min so that its volume is constant. When its radius is 5 cm and height is 3 cm the rate of decreasing of its height is:
The radius of a cylinder is increasing at the rate of 5 cm/min so that its volume is constant. When its radius is 5 cm and height is 3 cm the rate of decreasing of its height is:
Show Hint
In related rates, a negative derivative signifies a decrease. When the question asks for the "rate of decreasing," provide the absolute value.
