Answer

$\approx$ $0.38$ $ft/min$

Work Step by Step

we are given than $\frac{dV}{dt}$ = $30$ $ft^{3}/min$ $V$ = $\frac{1}{3}{\pi}r^{2}h$ = $\frac{1}{3}{\pi}(\frac{h}{2})^{2}h$ = $\frac{{\pi}h^{3}}{12}$ $\frac{dV}{dt}$ = $\frac{dV}{dh}\frac{dh}{dt}$ $30$ = $\frac{{\pi}h^{2}}{4}\frac{dh}{dt}$ $\frac{dh}{dt}$ = $\frac{120}{{\pi}h^{2}}$ $h$ = $10$ $ft$ $\frac{dh}{dt}$ = $\frac{120}{{\pi}10^{2}}$ $\approx$ $0.38$ $ft/min$
