\end{figure} The volume \(V \mathrm {~m} ^ { 3 }\) of water in the pond when the depth is \(h\) metres is given by $$V = \frac { 1 } { 3 } \pi h ^ { 2 } ( 3 - h ) .$$
  1. Find \(\frac { \mathrm { d } V } { \mathrm {~d} h }\). Water is poured into the pond at the rate of \(0.02 \mathrm {~m} ^ { 3 }\) per minute.
  2. Find the value of \(\frac { \mathrm { d } h } { \mathrm {~d} t }\) when \(h = 0.4\).
