The volume $V$ and depth $x$ of water in a vessel are connected by the relation $V = 5x - \frac{x^2}{6}$. If the volume of water is increasing at the rate of $5 \, cm^3/sec$,find the rate at which the depth of water is increasing when $x = 2 \, cm$.

  • A
    $\frac{5}{18} \, cm/sec$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{4} \, cm/sec$
  • C
    $\frac{5}{16} \, cm/sec$
  • D
    None of these
