An hourglass consists of two sets of congruent composite figures on either end. Each composite figure is made up of a cone and a cylinder.

Each cone of the hourglass has a height of 18 millimeters. The total height of the sand within the top portion of the hourglass is 54 millimeters. The radius of both cylinder and cone is 8 millimeters. Sand drips from the top of the hourglass to the bottom at a rate of 10π cubic millimeters per second. How many seconds will it take until all of the sand has dripped to the bottom of the hourglass?
