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 ${\text{c}}{{\text{m}}^3}$ .
