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.

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).
