Coffee drains from a conical filter, with diameter of 15cm and a height of 15 cm into a cylindrical coffee pot, with a diameter of 15 cm at 2 cm^2/ sec. At a certain time, the coffee in the filter is 13 cm deep.
a) How fast is the depth of coffee in the filter changing at that time?
b) How fast is the depth of coffee in the pot changing at that time?
Apparently this is an assignment question. I think that 2cm^2 / sec is a typo and should be replaced by 2cm^3 / sec.
