The inside of the vase is in the shape of a right-circular cone with the angle between the sides in the cross-section being \(60 ^ { \circ }\). When the depth of water in the vase is \(h \mathrm {~cm}\), the volume of water in the vase is \(V \mathrm {~cm} ^ { 3 }\).
  1. Show that \(V = \frac { 1 } { 9 } \pi h ^ { 3 }\). The vase is initially empty and water is poured in at a constant rate of \(120 \mathrm {~cm} ^ { 3 } \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\).
  2. Find, to 2 decimal places, the rate at which \(h\) is increasing
    1. when \(h = 6\),
    2. after water has been poured in for 8 seconds.
