The question is as follows:
A circular cylinder of height 6cm and base radius 4cm sits on a table with its axis vertical. A point source of light moves vertically upwards at a speed of 3cm/s above the central axis of the cylinder, thus casting a circular shadow on the table. Find the rate at which the radius of the shadow is decreasing when the light is at a distance 4cm above the top of the cylinder
