The surface of water in a water tank of cross-sectional area $750 \,cm^2$ on the top of a house is '$h$' $m$ above the tap level. The speed of water coming out through the tap of cross-sectional area $500 \,mm^2$ is $30 \,cm/s$. At that instant, $\frac{dh}{dt}$ is $x \times 10^{-3} \,m/s$. The value of '$x$' will be:
