Question

A cylindrical container is to be made from certain solid material with the following constraints: It has a fixed inner volume of V mm3, has a 2mm thick solid wall and is open at the top. The bottom of the container is a solid circular disc of thickness 2mm and is of radius equal to the outer radius of the container.
If the volume of the material used the container is minimum when the inner radius of the container is 10mm, then the value of V250π is ___

Solution

Let r be the internal radius and R be the external radius. Let h be the internal height of the cylinder.
πr2=Vh=Vπr2
Also Vol. of material =M=π[(r+2)2r2]h+π(r+2)2×2
or M=4π(r+1).Vπr2+2π(r+2)2
M=4V[1r+1r2]+2π(r+2)2
dMdr=4V[1r22r3]+4π(r+2)
For min. value of M, dMdr=0
4Vr3(r+2)+4π(r+2)=0
4Vr3=4V or r3=Vπ=1000
V=1000π
V250π=4
