    Volume of cone = (1/3) pi r^2 h ('r' is the radius and 'h' is the height)

    dV/dt = 5 ft^3 /sec

    h= (2/3)(2r)

    h = 4r/3

    r = 3h/4

    Volume = (1/3) pi (3h/4)^2 h

    Volume = (3pi/16) h^3

    dV/dt = (3pi/16) (3h^2) dh/dt

    when h=30:

    5 = (9pi/16) (30)^2 dh/dt

    5 = (8100pi /16) dh/dt

    dh/dt = 80 /(8100pi)

    dh/dt = 4/(405pi) ft/sec
