A cylindrical container is to be made from certain solid material with the following constraints; It has a fixed inner volume of $V m m^{3},$ has a $2 m m$ thick solid wall and is open at the top. The bottom of the container is a solid circular disc of thickness $2 m m$ and is of radius equal to the outer radius of the container.
If the volume of the material used to make the container is minimum when the inner radius of the container is $10 m m,$ then the value of $\frac{V}{250 π}$ is ________

Question

A cylindrical container is to be made from certain solid material with the following constraints; It has a fixed inner volume of $V m m^{3},$ has a $2 m m$ thick solid wall and is open at the top. The bottom of the container is a solid circular disc of thickness $2 m m$ and is of radius equal to the outer radius of the container.
If the volume of the material used to make the container is minimum when the inner radius of the container is $10 m m,$ then the value of $\frac{V}{250 π}$ is ________

Infinity Learn · Accepted Answer

Let r be the internal radius, R be the external radius and h be the internal height of the cylinder.Now,V=πr2h⇒h=Vπr2Also Vol. of material =M=π[(r+2)2−r2]h+π(r+2)2×2⇒4π(r+1)Vπr2+2π(r+2)2M=4V[1r+1r2]+2π(r+2)2⇒dMdr=4V[−1r+1r2]+2π(r+2)2For min. value of M, put dMdr=0⇒−4Vr3(r+2)+4π(r+2)=0⇒−4Vr3=4π or r3=Vπ=1000⇒V250π=4
