Question

A water container is made in the shape of a cylinder with internal height \(h\) cm and internal base radius \(r\) cm.

N16/5/MATSD/SP2/ENG/TZ0/06

The water container has no top. The inner surfaces of the container are to be coated with a water-resistant material.

The volume of the water container is \(0.5{\text{ }}{{\text{m}}^3}\).

The water container is designed so that the area to be coated is minimized.

One can of water-resistant material coats a surface area of \(2000{\text{ c}}{{\text{m}}^2}\).

Write down a formula for \(A\), the surface area to be coated.

[2]
a.

Express this volume in \({\text{c}}{{\text{m}}^3}\).

[1]
b.

Write down, in terms of \(r\) and \(h\), an equation for the volume of this water container.

[1]
c.

Show that \(A = \pi {r^2}\frac{{1\,000\,000}}{r}\).

[2]
d.

Show that \(A = \pi {r^2} + \frac{{1\,000\,000}}{r}\).

[2]
d.

Find \(\frac{{{\text{d}}A}}{{{\text{d}}r}}\).

[3]
e.

Using your answer to part (e), find the value of \(r\) which minimizes \(A\).

[3]
f.

Find the value of this minimum area.

[2]
g.

Find the least number of cans of water-resistant material that will coat the area in part (g).

[3]
h.

\((A = ){\text{ }}\pi {r^2} + 2\pi rh\)    (A1)(A1)

 

Note:     Award (A1) for either \(\pi {r^2}\) OR \(2\pi rh\) seen. Award (A1) for two correct terms added together.
