QuestionProblem (13) A cylinderical vessel without a lid is to be made of a metallic lamina of surface area 462 cm2462 \mathrm{~cm}^{2}. Find the length of its base radius when its capacity is maximum (π=227)\left(\pi=\frac{22}{7}\right). Answer

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. The vessel is a cylindrical shape without a lid.
2. The surface area of the metallic lamina used is 462cm2 462 \, \text{cm}^2 .
3. We are to find the radius of the base when the volume (capacity) is maximized.

STEP 2

1. Recall the formulas for the surface area and volume of a cylinder.
2. Express the height in terms of the radius using the surface area formula.
3. Substitute the expression for height into the volume formula.
4. Differentiate the volume with respect to the radius and find the critical points.
5. Determine the radius that maximizes the volume.

STEP 3

Recall the formulas for the surface area and volume of a cylinder:
Surface area (without lid): A=πr2+2πrh A = \pi r^2 + 2\pi rh
Volume: V=πr2h V = \pi r^2 h

STEP 4

Express the height h h in terms of the radius r r using the surface area formula:
Given A=462cm2 A = 462 \, \text{cm}^2 , substitute into the surface area formula: πr2+2πrh=462 \pi r^2 + 2\pi rh = 462
Solve for h h : 2πrh=462πr2 2\pi rh = 462 - \pi r^2 h=462πr22πr h = \frac{462 - \pi r^2}{2\pi r}

STEP 5

Substitute the expression for h h into the volume formula:
V=πr2(462πr22πr) V = \pi r^2 \left(\frac{462 - \pi r^2}{2\pi r}\right) V=r(462πr2)2 V = \frac{r(462 - \pi r^2)}{2}

STEP 6

Differentiate the volume V V with respect to r r and find the critical points:
V=462rπr32 V = \frac{462r - \pi r^3}{2}
Differentiate: dVdr=12(4623πr2) \frac{dV}{dr} = \frac{1}{2}(462 - 3\pi r^2)
Set the derivative equal to zero to find critical points: 4623πr2=0 462 - 3\pi r^2 = 0 3πr2=462 3\pi r^2 = 462 r2=4623π r^2 = \frac{462}{3\pi} r=4623π r = \sqrt{\frac{462}{3\pi}}
Substitute π=227\pi = \frac{22}{7}: r=462×73×22 r = \sqrt{\frac{462 \times 7}{3 \times 22}} r=323466 r = \sqrt{\frac{3234}{66}} r=49 r = \sqrt{49} r=7cm r = 7 \, \text{cm}

STEP 7

Verify that this radius maximizes the volume by checking the second derivative or analyzing the behavior of the function.
Since the problem asks for the radius when the capacity is maximum and r=7cm r = 7 \, \text{cm} is the only critical point, we conclude it maximizes the volume.
The length of the base radius when the capacity is maximum is:
7cm \boxed{7 \, \text{cm}}
