A hint to get started

Convert units before differentiating a conical pile

Sand from a chute forms a conical pile whose altitude is always 4/34/3 of its base radius.

(i) How fast is its volume increasing when the radius is 11 m and increases at 1/8 cm s−11/8\text{ cm s}^{-1}? marks

(ii) How fast is its radius increasing when it is 22 m and the volume increases at 1000 cm3 s−11000\text{ cm}^3\text{ s}^{-1}? marks
