Water is flowing into a barrel in the shape of a right circular cylinder at the rate of 700 in³ per minute. If the radius of the barrel is 3 in, at what rate is the depth of the water changing when the water is 10 in deep? Round your answer to two decimal places. A)77.78 in per minute B)222.82 in per minute C)70.92 in per minute D)74.27 in per minute E)24.76 in per minute

The volume of a cylinder is V = πr²h. Given dV/dt = 700 in³/min and r = 3 in, we find dh/dt using dV/dt = πr²(dh/dt). Solving for dh/dt gives dh/dt = 700/(π*3²) ≈ 24.76 in/min.
