OpenStudy (precal):

Water is draining and I am finding how fast is the water level falling when the water level is 12 meters high. I have 2/(9pi) as an answer, should it be negative?

OpenStudy (precal):

I guess I forgot to list the dv/dh as a negative, since it is water draining from the conical shape tank
