A drop of water in space is currently in the shape of a cylinder with radius 1 mm and height 2 mm. A piston pushes the circular faces of the drop closer together, decreasing the height at a rate of 1 mm/s. If the water stays in the shape of a cylinder and its volume does not change, at what rate is the radius of the drop increasing?
