(b) A water tank has a shape of an inverted circular cone with base radius 2m and height 4m. If water is being pumped into the tank at a rate of 2m^3 jmin, find the rate at which the water level is rising when the water is 3m deep. The volume V of such "a cone is V = l1l"r^2 h, where h is height and r is radius.
