Surface Area of a can is 517.8 cm^2. Maximize the volume of this can using the measured surface area.

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

$r = 5.24$ --- Radius

$h = 10.48$ --- Height

Explanation:

Given

Object: Can (Cylinder)

$Surface\ Area = 517.8cm^2$

Required

Maximize the volume

The surface area is:

$S.A = 2\pi r^2 + 2\pi rh$

Substitute 517.8 for S.A

$517.8 = 2\pi r^2 + 2\pi rh$

Divide through by 2

$258.9 = \pi r^2 + \pi rh$

Factorize:

$258.9 = \pi r(r + h)$

Divide through by $\pi r$

$\frac{258.9}{\pi r} = r + h$

Make h the subject

$h = \frac{258.9}{\pi r} - r$ --- (1)

Volume (V) is calculated as:

$V = \pi r^2h$

Substitute (1) for h

$V = \pi r^2(\frac{258.9}{\pi r} - r)$

Open Bracket

$V = 258.9r - \pi r^3$

Differentiate V

$V' = 258.9 - 3\pi r^2$

Set V' to 0

$0 = 258.9 - 3\pi r^2$

Collect Like Terms

$3\pi r^2 = 258.9$

Divide through by 3

$\pi r^2 = 86.3$

Divide through by $\pi$

$r^2 = \frac{86.3}{\pi}$

$r^2 = \frac{86.3*7}{22}$

$r^2 = \frac{604.1}{22}$

Take square root of both sides

$r = \sqrt{\frac{604.1}{22}$

$r = 5.24$

Recall that:

$h = \frac{258.9}{\pi r} - r$

Substitute 5.24 for r

$h = \frac{258.9}{\pi * 5.24} - 5.24$

$h = \frac{258.9*7}{22 * 5.24} - 5.24$

$h = \frac{1812.3}{115.28} - 5.24$

$h = 15.72 - 5.24$

$h = 10.48$

Hence, the dimension that maximize the volume is:

$r = 5.24$ --- Radius

$h = 10.48$ --- Height

The benefits of thinning a forest over other methods of forestry management

galben [10]

Answer:

III. The understory growth and remaining trees are healthier.

Explanation:

Forestry can be defined as the art and science of creating, development, management, conservation and analysis of the living organisms such as plants, trees and woodlands existing in the forest. This is usually done so as to tap into the environmental benefits associated with the forests and to ensure the continuous existence of wildlife, plant growth and development.

Forest Management is a branch of forestry. The field of forest management typically deals with legal, administrative, financial, economical, technical and social aspects of a forest so as to facilitate the smooth running and operation of the forest reserve.

Thinning is a forest management process which typically involves removing full rows of trees so as to increase the space between them and to reduce competition among trees for resources such as moisture, nutrients and sunlight.

Hence, the benefits of thinning a forest over other methods of forestry management include the understory growth and remaining trees are healthier.
