document.write( "Question 143541: Water is leaking out of an inverted conical tank at a rate of 10000cm^3/min at the same time water is being pumped into the tank at a constant rate. The tank has a height of 6m and a diameter of 10 m. If the water level is rising at a rate of 20 cm/min when the height of the water is 2m, find the rate at which the water is being pumped into the tank. \n" ); document.write( "
