I know some people love doing math early in the morning so could some one please answer before I leave at 6.45AM.


A wine glass is shaped so that the depth of the liquid in it is y cm, the volume of the liquid is given by V = 1/5 *y^4 cm^3. At what rate is the level rising when the depth is 4cm?

I have got dy/dt = dy/dv*dv/dt
but cant find dv/dt???

any suggestions



thanks heaps, ive got a math ext assessment today.
