A cylinder shaped can needs to be constructed to hold 500 cubic centimeters of soup. The material for the sides of the can costs

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

r=3.628cm

h=12.093cm

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem we are going to use principles, concepts and calculations from multivariable calculus; mainly we are going to use the Lagrange multipliers method. This method is thought to help us to find a extreme value of a multivariable function 'F' given a restriction 'G'. F represents the function that we want to optimize and G is just a relation between the variables of which F depends. The Lagrange method for just one restriction is:

$\nabla F=\lambda \nabla G$

First, let's build the function that we want to optimize, that is the cost. The cost is a function that must sum the cost of the sides material and the cost of the top and bottom material. The cost of the sides material is the unitary cost (0.03) multiplied by the sides area, which is $A_s=2\pi rh$ for a cylinder; while the cost of the top and bottom material is the unitary cost (0.05) multiplied by the area of this faces, which is $A_{TyB}=2\pi r^2$ for a cylinder.

So, the cost function 'C' is:

$C=2\pi rh*0.03+2\pi r^2*0.05\\C=0.06\pi rh+0.1\pi r^2$

The restriction is the volume, which has to be of 500 cubic centimeters:

$V=500=\pi r^2h\\500=\pi hr^2$

So, let's apply the Lagrange multiplier method:

$\nabla C=\lambda \nabla V\\\frac{\partial C}{\partial r}=0.06\pi h+0.2\pi r\\\frac{\partial C}{\partial h}=0.06\pi r\\\frac{\partial V}{\partial r}=2\pi rh\\\frac{\partial V}{\partial h}=\pi r^2\\(0.06\pi h+0.2\pi r,0.06\pi r)=\lambda (2\pi rh,\pi r^2)$

At this point we have a three variable (h,r, λ)-three equation system, which solution will be the optimum point for the cost (the minimum). Let's write the system:

$0.06\pi h+0.2\pi r=2\lambda \pi rh\\0.06\pi r=\lambda \pi r^2\\500=\pi hr^2$

(In this kind of problems always the additional equation is the restricion, in this case, V=500).

Let's divide the first and second equations by π:

$0.06h+0.2r=2\lambda rh\\0.06r=\lambda r^2\\500=\pi hr^2$

Isolate λ from the second equation:

$\lambda =\frac{0.06}{r}$

Isolate h from the third equation:

$h=\frac{500}{\pi r^2}$

And then, replace λ and h in the first equation:

$0.06*\frac{500}{\pi r^2} +0.2r=2*(\frac{0.06}{r})r\frac{500}{\pi r^2} \\\frac{30}{\pi r^2}+0.2r= \frac{60}{\pi r^2}$

Multiply all the resultant equation by $\pi r^{2}$ :

$30+0.2\pi r^3=60\\0.2\pi r^3=30\\r^3=\frac{30}{0.2\pi } =\frac{150}{\pi}\\r=\sqrt[3]{\frac{150}{\pi}}\approx 3.628cm$

Then, find h by the equation $h=\frac{500}{\pi r^2}$ founded above:

$h=\frac{500}{\pi r^2}\\h=\frac{500}{\pi (3.628)^2}=12.093cm$

In the figure below, Z is the center of the circle. Suppose that OR=4, ST= 4, UZ= 6, and VZ=4x-6. Find the following.

Ann [662]

Answer:

x = 3 units

SV = 2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

In $\odot Z$ QR and ST are chords such that:

QR = ST = 4

That is both the chords are equal in measure.

Equal chords are at equal distance from the center of the circle. Therefore,

VZ = UZ

4x - 6 = 6

4x = 6 + 6

4x = 12

x = 12/4

x = 3 units

Since, perpendicular dropped from the center of the circle bisects the chord.

$\therefore SV = \frac{1}{2} ST$

$\therefore SV = \frac{1}{2} \times 4$

$\therefore SV = 2\: units$

Use the divergence theorem to find the outward flux of the vector field F(xyz)= 4x^2 i + 4y^2 j + 3z^2 k across the boundary of

Pavel [41]

$\vec F(x,y,z)=4x^2\,\vec\imath+4y^2\,\vec\jmath+3z^2\,\vec k\implies\nabla\cdot\vec F=8x+8y+6z$

Let $S$ be the surface of the rectangular prism bounded by the planes $x=0$ , $x=a$ , $y=0$ , $y=b$ , $z=0$ , and $z=c$ . By the divergence theorem, the integral of $\vec F$ over $S$ is given by the integral of $\nabla\cdot\vec F$ over the interior of $S$ (call it $R$ ):
