Look at the solution I gave Ryan for an almost identical problem as yours
http://www.jiskha.com/display.cgi?id=1427010949
Gravel is being dumped from a conveyor belt at a rate of 30 ft3/min, and its coarseness is such that it forms a pile in the shape of a cone whose base diameter and height are always equal. How fast is the height of the pile increasing when the pile is 14 ft high? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
