    Volume of Cylinder V = πr²h

    diameter = 6 feet, radius = 6/2 = 3 feet

    dV/dt = (dV/dh) * (dh/dt) by change rule.

    V = πr²h

    dV/dh = πr² = π*3² = 9π ft²

    dV/dt = 2 ft ³/min

    dV/dt = (dV/dh) * (dh/dt)

    2 ft³/min = 9π ft² * (dh/dt)

    9π ft² * (dh/dt) = 2 ft ³/min

    (dh/dt) = (2 ft³/min) / (9π ft ²)

    (dh/dt) = (2 / 9π) ft/min

    So the water level is rising at (2/9 π) ft/min.
