the riddler who is 6ft tall is attempting to escape from prison. he runs at a speed of 14 ft/sec. In a straight line towards the prison wall which he thinks he can climb over.

Batman is storing fuel for his batmobile in a tank which has the shape of an inverted cone with a base radius of 2 meters and a height of 4 meters. if fuel is being pumped into the tank at a rate of 2 cubic meters per minute, find the rate at which the water level is rising when the water is 3 meters deep.
