A soup company wants to manufacture a can in the shape of a right circular cylinder that will hold 500 cm^3 of liquid. The mater

ial for the top and bottom costs 0.02 cent/cm^2, and the material for the sides costs 0.01 cent/cm^2.
a) Estimate the radius r and height h of the can that costs the least to manufacture. [suggestion: Express the cost C in terms of r.]

The area of the top and bottom:
2πr²
Cost for top and bottom:
2πr²  x 0.02
= 0.04πr²

Area for side:
2πrh
Cost for side:
2πrh x 0.01
= 0.02πrh

Total cost:
C = 0.04πr² + 0.02πrh

We know that the volume of the can is:
V = πr²h
h = 500/πr²

Substituting this into the cost equation to get a cost function of radius:
C(r) = 0.04πr² + 0.02πr(500/πr²)
C(r) = 0.04πr² + 10/r

Now, we differentiate with respect to r and equate to 0 to obtain the minimum value:

0 = 0.08πr - 10/r²
10/r² = 0.08πr
r³ = 125/π

r = 3.41 cm

Watt-hours is a measure of energy, just like kilowatt-hours. How can you convert this to Joules?
satela [25.4K]

Work with your units:

1 watt-hour = 1 (joule/second) · (hour) = 1 (joule-hour / second)

(1 joule-hour/sec) · (3600 sec/hour) = 3600 joules

So 1 watt-hour = 3,600 joules

How light is channelled down an optical fibre
coldgirl [10]

Explanation:

Suppose you want to shine a flashlight beam down a long, straight hallway. Just point the beam straight down the hallway -- light travels in straight lines, so it is no problem. What if the hallway has a bend in it? You could place a mirror at the bend to reflect the light beam around the corner. What if the hallway is very winding with multiple bends? You might line the walls with mirrors and angle the beam so that it bounces from side-to-side all along the hallway. This is exactly what happens in an optical fiber.

The light in a fiber-optic cable travels through the core (hallway) by constantly bouncing from the cladding (mirror-lined walls), a principle called total internal reflection. Because the cladding does not absorb any light from the core, the light wave can travel great distances.

However, some of the light signal degrades within the fiber, mostly due to impurities in the glass. The extent that the signal degrades depends on the purity of the glass and the wavelength of the transmitted light (for example, 850 nm = 60 to 75 percent/km; 1,300 nm = 50 to 60 percent/km; 1,550 nm is greater than 50 percent/km). Some premium optical fibers show much less signal degradation -- less than 10 percent/km at 1,550 nm.
