Prelims
  1. Water is poured at a constant rate of \(20\,\mathrm{c}{{\mathrm{m}}^{3}}\) per second into a cup which is shaped like a truncated cone as shown in the figure. The upper and lower radii of the cup are \(4\,\mathrm{cm}\) and \(2\,\mathrm{cm}\) respectively. The height of the cup is \(\mathrm{6}\,\mathrm{cm}\).

    1. Show that the volume of water inside the cup, \(V\) is related the height of the water level, \(h\) through the equation
      \(V\,=\,\frac{\pi }{27}{{(h=6)}^{3}}-8\pi \)[3]
    2. How fast will the water level be rising when \(h\) is \(\mathrm{3}\,\mathrm{cm}\)?
      Express your answer in exact form.[3]
