Question

Use differentials to estimate the amount of paint needed (in m3) to apply a coat of paint 0.04 cm thick to a hemispherical dome with a of diameter 52 m

Answer 1

The amount of paint is the volume of paint needed.

The amount of paint needed is 0.065312 cubic meters

How to determine the amount of paint needed

The volume of a hemisphere is:

$V = \frac 23\pi r^3$

Differentiate the above equation

$V' = 2\pi r^2 r'$

The above equation represents the estimate of the amount of paint needed.

Where:

• r represents the radius (r = 52/2 m)
• r' represents the thickness (r' = 0.04 cm)

So, we have:

$V' = 2\pi r^2 r'$

$V' = 2 * 3.14 * (52/2\ m)^2 * (0.04cm)$

$V' = 2 * 3.14 * (26\ m)^2 * (0.04cm)$

Express cm as m

$V' = 2 * 3.14 * (26\ m)^2 * (0.0004m)$

$V' = 0.065312 m^3$

Hence, the amount of paint needed is 0.065312 cubic meters
