\\ \tan\theta =\frac{r}{h}=\frac{1}{2}\\\\\:2r=h

\\ v=1/3\:\pi\frac{h^{3}}{4}=\frac{\pi h^{3}}{12} \\\\\: \frac{dv}{dt} = \frac{\pi}{4} h^{2} \frac{dh}{dt}

\\5=\frac{\pi}{4}(10)^{2}\frac{dh}{dt}\\\\\:\frac{dh}{dt}=\frac{1}{5}\cdot\frac{1}{\pi}=\frac{1}{5\pi} \:m/min


Option 1)

1/15\pi

Option 2)

1/10\pi

Option 3)
