5.

A container is made in the shape of a hollow inverted right circular cone. The height of the container is 24 cm and the radius is 16 cm, as shown in Figure 2. Water is flowing into the container. When the height of water is \(h\) cm, the surface of the water has radius \(r\) cm and the volume of water is \(V\) cm\(^3\).
[The volume \(V\) of a right circular cone with vertical height \(h\) and base radius \(r\) is given by the formula \(V = \dfrac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h\).]
Water flows into the container at a rate of 8 cm\(^3\) s\(^{-1}\).

Notes
B1: \(\dfrac{\mathrm{d}V}{\mathrm{d}t} = 8\) B1: \(\underline{\dfrac{\mathrm{d}V}{\mathrm{d}h} = \dfrac{12\pi h^2}{27}}\) or \(\underline{\dfrac{4\pi h^2}{9}}\)
M1: Candidate’s \(\dfrac{\mathrm{d}V}{\mathrm{d}t} \div \dfrac{\mathrm{d}V}{\mathrm{d}h}\);
A1: \(\underline{8 \div \left(\dfrac{12\pi h^2}{27}\right)}\) or \(\underline{8 \times \dfrac{9}{4\pi h^2}}\) or \(\underline{\dfrac{18}{\pi h^2}}\) oe
A1 oe isw: \(\underline{\dfrac{18}{144\pi}}\) or \(\underline{\dfrac{1}{8\pi}}\)
Note the answer must be a one term exact value. Note, also you can ignore subsequent working after \(\underline{\dfrac{18}{144\pi}}\).

|---|---|
| From question, \(\dfrac{\mathrm{d}V}{\mathrm{d}t} = 8 \Rightarrow V = 8t\ (+\,c)\) | B1 |
| \(h = \left(\dfrac{27V}{4\pi}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}} \Rightarrow h = \underline{\left(\dfrac{27(8t)}{4\pi}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}} = \underline{\left(\dfrac{54t}{\pi}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}} = \underline{3\left(\dfrac{2t}{\pi}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}}\) | B1 |
| \(\dfrac{\mathrm{d}h}{\mathrm{d}t} = 3\left(\dfrac{2}{\pi}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}\dfrac{1}{3}t^{-\frac{2}{3}}\) | M1; A1 oe |
| When \(h = 12\), \(t = \left(\dfrac{12}{3}\right)^3 \times \dfrac{\pi}{2} = 32\pi\) | |
| So when \(h = 12\), \(\dfrac{\mathrm{d}h}{\mathrm{d}t} = \left(\dfrac{2}{\pi}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}\left(\dfrac{1}{32\pi}\right)^{\frac{2}{3}} = \left(\dfrac{2}{1024\pi^3}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}} = \underline{\dfrac{1}{8\pi}}\) | A1 oe |

B1: \(\dfrac{\mathrm{d}V}{\mathrm{d}t} = 8\) or \(V = 8t\) B1: \(\underline{\left(\dfrac{27(8t)}{4\pi}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}}\) or \(\underline{\left(\dfrac{54t}{\pi}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}}\) or \(\underline{3\left(\dfrac{2t}{\pi}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}}\)
M1: \(\dfrac{\mathrm{d}h}{\mathrm{d}t} = \pm kt^{-\frac{2}{3}}\); A1 oe: \(\dfrac{\mathrm{d}h}{\mathrm{d}t} = 3\left(\dfrac{2}{\pi}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}\dfrac{1}{3}t^{-\frac{2}{3}}\) A1 oe: \(\underline{\dfrac{1}{8\pi}}\)
