What dimensions for h(height) and r (radius) will use the least material? Use calculus methodAn 800 cubic meter cylindrical container made of sheet metal, including top and bottom is to be designed.?
The top and bottom each use 蟺 * r^2 of material
The cylindrical portion uses 2 * 蟺 * r * h of material
Together,
A = 2 * 蟺 * r^2 + 2 * 蟺 * r * h of material
Also,
800 = 蟺 * r^2 * h
h = 800 / (蟺 * r^2)
A = 2 * 蟺 * r^2 + 2 * 蟺 * r * 800 / (蟺 * r^2)
A = 2 * 蟺 * r^2 + 1600 / r
Take the first derivative of A:
A' = 4 * 蟺 * r - 1600 / r^2 = 0
0 = 蟺 * r - 400 / r^2
0 = 蟺 * r^3 - 400
400/蟺 = r^3
r = cube root(400/蟺)
