Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(0.002 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{sec}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given the height \(h\) of the cone is equal to its diameter \(d = 2r\), so \(h = 2r\). The volume of the cone is \(V = \dfrac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h = \dfrac{1}{3} \pi r^2 (2r) = \dfrac{2}{3} \pi r^3\). Differentiating with respect to time \(t\), we get…
