He swam 1,800 laps total, in 12 weeks.

Each week, he swam 1800/12 = 150 laps, in 5 days.

Each day, he swam 150/5 = 30 laps, in 45 minutes.

His average time was (30 laps) / (45 minutes)

   = (30/45) (lap/minute)

   = 2/3 lap/minute .

At that rate, in one hour, he would swim

   (2/3 lap/minute) x (60 minute/hour)

   = (2/3 x 60) (lap/hour) = 40 laps/hour .

Let's check that:

   (40 lap/hour) x (0.75 hour/day) x (5 day/week) x (12 weeks)

   = (45 x 0.75 x 5 x 12) x (laps) = 1,800 laps yay !

The surface area of a right circular cone of radius r and height h is S = πr√ r 2 + h 2 , and its volume is V = 1 3 πr2h. What i

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

Required largest volume is 0.407114 unit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given surface area of a right circular cone of radious r and height h is,

$S=\pi r\sqrt{r^2+h^2}$

and volume,

$V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h$

To find the largest volume if the surface area is S=8 (say), then applying Lagranges multipliers,

$f(r,h)=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h$

subject to,

$g(r,h)=\pi r\sqrt{r^2+h^2}=8\hfill (1)$

We know for maximum volume $r\neq 0$ . So let $\lambda$ be the Lagranges multipliers be such that,

$f_r=\lambda g_r$

$\implies \frac{2}{3}\pi r h=\lambda (\pi \sqrt{r^2+h^2}+\frac{\pi r^2}{\sqrt{r^2+h^2}})$

$\implies \frac{2}{3}r h= \lambda (\sqrt{r^2+h^2}+\frac{ r^2}{\sqrt{r^2+h^2}})\hfill (2)$

And,

$f_h=\lambda g_h$

$\implies \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2=\lambda \frac{\pi rh}{\sqrt{r^2+h^2}}$

$\implies \lambda=\frac{r\sqrt{r^2+h^2}}{3h}\hfill (3)$

Substitute (3) in (2) we get,

$\frac{2}{3}rh=\frac{r\sqrt{R^2+h^2}}{3h}(\sqrt{R^2+h^2+}+\frac{r^2}{\sqrt{r^2+h^2}})$

$\implies \frac{2}{3}rh=\frac{r}{3h}(2r^2+h^2)$

$\implies h^2=2r^2$

Substitute this value in (1) we get,

$\pi r\sqrt{h^2+r^2}=8$

$\implies \pi r \sqrt{2r^2+r^2}=8$

$\implies r=\sqrt{\frac{8}{\pi\sqrt{3}}}\equiv 1.21252$

Then,

$h=\sqrt{2}(1.21252)\equiv 1.71476$

Hence largest volume,

$V=\frac{1}{3}\times \pi \times\frac{\pi}{8\sqrt{3}}\times 1.71476=0.407114$
