Figure 1: a hollow hemispherical bowl containing water of depth h
Figure 1

A hollow hemispherical bowl is shown in Figure 1. Water is flowing into the bowl. When the depth of the water is \(h\) m, the volume \(V\,\text{m}^3\) is given by\[V = \frac{1}{12}\pi h^2(3 - 4h), \qquad 0 \leqslant h \leqslant 0.25\]

(a) Find, in terms of \(\pi\), \(\dfrac{\mathrm{d}V}{\mathrm{d}h}\) when \(h = 0.1\) (4)

Water flows into the bowl at a rate of \(\dfrac{\pi}{800}\,\text{m}^3\,\text{s}^{-1}\).

(b) Find the rate of change of \(h\), in \(\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-1}\), when \(h = 0.1\) (2)
