A cylindrical container of radius 8 cm and height 25 cm is completely filled with water. The water is then poured at a constant rate from the cylinder into an empty inverted cone.The cone has radius 15 cm and height 24 cm and its axis is vertical. It takes 40  seconds for all of the water to be transferred. If V represents the volume of water, in cm3, in the cone at time t seconds, find dVdt in terms of π.

A watermelon is assumed to be spherical in shape while it is growing. Its mass, M kg, and radius, r cm, are related by the formula M=kr3, where k is a constant. It is also assumed that the radius is increasing at a constant rate of 0.1 centimetres per day. On a particular day the radius is 10 cm and the mass is 3.2 kg. Find the value of k and the rate at which the mass is increasing on this day.
