As a result, the height $h$ and radius $r$ also change with time. Knowing that at any moment $V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h$, the relationship between the changes with respect to time in the volume, radius and height is \vskip 10pt \begin{enumerate} \item $\displaystyle{\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{1}{3}\pi \left( 2r\frac{dr}{dt} h+r^2\frac{dh}{dt}\right)}$ \item $\displaystyle{\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{1}{3}\pi \left( 2r\frac{dr}{dt} \cdot \frac{dh}{dt}\right)}$ \item $\displaystyle{\frac{dV}{dr}=\frac{1}{3}\pi \left( 2rh+r^2\frac{dh}{dt}\right)}$ \item $\displaystyle{\frac{dV}{dh}=\frac{1}{3}\pi \left( (r^2)(1)+2r\frac{dr}{dh}h\right)}$ \end{enumerate} \end{frame} \begin{frame} {\large Imagine the following magic triangle. Its base is on a horizontal surface and no matter what you do to its height, the triangle always has area $10$ cm$^2$.} \vskip 20pt {\large If you push down on the top of the triangle so that it becomes shorter at a rate of $3$ cm/sec, how fast will the length of the base be changing when the triangle is $5$ cm tall?} \end{frame} \begin{frame} \large My neighbors have a very loud stereo. The volume knob turns half a circle (angles $\theta$ between $0^\circ$ and $180^\circ$) and the volume of the music is given by the function $V(\theta)=110\sin(\theta/2)$ decibels (dB). \vskip 20pt One night at $3:30$ in the morning I notice an increase from a volume of $88$ dB at a rate of $1$ decibel per second! At what rate can I deduce that my neighbor is turning his volume knob? \end{frame} \begin{frame} %%%%%%% Students should discover errors in this "solution" {\small Water is leaking out of a tank shaped like a right circular cone with height $5$ m and top radius $3$ m.
