I am terrible with related rates. Please help! A conical oil drum has a radius of 1.5 feet and a height of 4.5feet. the drum is oriented so that the point is on the bottom. Oil is being pumped out of the drum at the rate of 2.5 cubic feet per second. When the height of the oil in the drum is 2 feet, at what rate is the height of the oil in the drum decreasing?
