A tank, as shown in the figure below, formed using a combination of a cylinder and a cone, offers better drainage as compared to a flat bottomed tank.
Figure: CBSE Class 12 Mathematics 2023, Application of Derivatives
A tap is connected to such a tank whose conical part is full of water. Water is dripping out from a tap at the bottom at the uniform rate of $\displaystyle 2 \mathrm{~cm}^{3} / \mathrm{s}$. The semi-vertical angle of the conical tank is $\displaystyle 45^{\circ}$. On the basis of given information, answer the following questions :
(i)
Find the volume of water in the tank in terms of its radius r .
(ii)
Find rate of change of radius at an instant when $\displaystyle \mathrm{r}=2 \sqrt{2} \mathrm{~cm}$.
(iii)
Find the rate at which the wet surface of the conical tank is decreasing at an instant when radius $\displaystyle \mathrm{r}=2 \sqrt{2} \mathrm{~cm}$.
