You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Basically you have to find the relation between the radius and height of a right circular cylinder with given volume for minimum surface area.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Cans are hollow cylinders with both ends closed.
\n" ); document.write( "So, total surface area is \"S+=+2%2Api%2Ar%5E2+%2B+2%2Api%2Ar%2Ah\".
\n" ); document.write( "\"S+=+2%2Api%2Ar%28r+%2B+h%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The volume is \"V+=+pi%2Ar%5E2%2Ah\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"h+=+V%2F%28pi%2Ar%5E2%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So, \"S+=+2%2Api%2Ar%28r+%2B+V%2F%28pi%2Ar%5E2%29%29\" [substituting the value of 'h']
\n" ); document.write( "\"S+=+2pi%2Ar%5E2+%2B+2V%2Fr\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "For minimum surface area,
\n" ); document.write( "\"dS%2Fdr+=+0\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"4%2Api%2Ar+-+2V%2Fr%5E2+=+0\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"r+=+root%283%2CV%2F%282%2Api%29%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So, the height is \"h+=+V%2F%28pi%2A%28root%283%2CV%2F%282%2Api%29%29%29%5E2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"h+=+V%2F%28pi%2Aroot%283%2CV%5E2%2F%284%2Api%5E2%29%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"h+=+root%283%2C4V%2Fpi%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "a) Substituting V = 500 cc,
\n" ); document.write( "\"r+=+root%283%2C500%2F%282%2Api%29%29+=+4.30\" cm
\n" ); document.write( "\"h+=+root%283%2C4%2A500%2Fpi%29+=+8.60\" cm\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "b) \"S+=+2%2Api%2A4.3%284.3+%2B+8.6%29+=+348.53\" sq cm
\n" ); document.write( "So, cost of material per can = $(0.2 x 348.53) = $69.7.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
