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: Hourglass with sand measuring 45 millimeters high Each cone of the hourglass has a height of 15 millimeters. The total height of the sand within the top portion of the hourglass is 45 millimeters. The radius of both cylinder and cone is 6 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

the bottom cut off heres the rest of the question
. 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?
very long word problem ! but an easy one :) read the problem and figure out below : 1) what information we're given 2) what we're asked to find out
made up of a cone and cylinder, 45 mm high, radi of both cylinders 6 mm, and drips 10 π per second
good :) lets find the volume occupied by the sand in top container

the top container looks something like above ?
it is made up of below parts : 1) cone of height 15mm 2) cylinder of height 45-15 = 30mm
yes
we're also given that both cone and cylinder have radius of 6mm
