Need help with this related rates problem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A cylindrical swimming pool (whose center axis is vertical) is being filled from a fire hose at a rate of 5 cubic feet per second. If the pool is 40 feet across, how fast is the water level increasing when the pool is one third full? 12 hours ago

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

well you know the rate of change in the volume with respect to time \[\frac{dV}{dt} = 5\] you know the volume of the cylinder \[V = \pi r^2 h\] then rewriting the equation with h as the subject \[h = \frac{V}{2 \pi r^2}\] so then the rate of change in height with respect to time should be \[\frac{dh}{dt} = \frac{dh}{dV} \times \frac{dV}{dt}\] and thinking about the problem... I think its a constant rate of change
