An open top box with a square bottom and rectangular sides is to have a
volume of 256 cubic inches. Find the dimension that required the minimum
amount of material. Hint: The amount of material needed for a box is equal
to the surface area.

14. Water is draining at the rate of 48πft3/s from a conical tank whose
diameter at its base is 40ft and whose height is 60ft. At what rate in ft/sec
is the radius of the water in the tank shrinking when the radius is 16ft.

Given:
D=40 ft
h=60 ft

Required:

Equation:

V = π r2 h

Solution:

In this equation we need to find an expression for height in terms of radius.

We can use the similar triangle to do that.

r h
=
20 6 o

h=3 r

Now, we can substitute this in the given formula.

V = π r (3 r )

V =π r

dV dr
Substitute the given value of dt and r to solve for dt .

Therefore the moment when the radius of the water is 16 feet, the
1
radius is decreasing at the rate of 16 ft/sec.

19. A closed right circular cylinder will have a volume of 1000ft 3. The top
and bottom of the cylinder are made of metal that costs 2 pesos per square
foot. The lateral side is wrapped in metal costing 2.5 pesos per square foot.
Find the minimum cost of construction.

Given:
Volume of the cylinder is equal to 1000ft3
The top and bottom of the cylinder are cost 2 pesos per square foot
The lateral side of the cylinder is cost of 2.5 pesos per square foot

Solution:

Working Equation:
Since the cost of the construction is based on the area of the surface
of the cylinder,

Let:
C = Construction cost
2πr2 = The area of the top and bottom of the right circular cylinder
2πrh = The area of the lateral side of the right circular cylinder
Then,
C = 2πr2 + 2πrh

Plug in the given values and simplify.

C = 2.00(2πr2) + 2.50(2πrh)
C = 4πr2 + 5πrh

In order to optimize the function we need to solve for h in terms of r using

the volume of the cylinder.

V = πr2h
1000 ft3 = πr2h
1000 ft 3 π r 2 h

Therefore, the minimum cost of the construction of the right circular

cylinder is 1284.7484.
