The amount of aluminum required for making the first container in cm2
Solution
We, first of all calculate the diameter of the first container.
We know that the volume of a cylinder is given by, V=πr2h, where r = radius of the base surface.
Diameter = 2 × radius
Therefore, radius (r) = d/2
In this case, height = twice the diameter of the base
Therefore, Volume = π (d/2)2×h= 12 × 1000cm3
π (d2)/4 × 2d=12×1000cm3, where π =22/7
We then solve for d
d = [(12000×2)/π]1/3 = 19.69cm
Diameter = 19.69cm
To calculate, the amount of aluminum required, we assume that the containers are closed.
Amount of aluminum = total surface area = 2πrh + 2 πr2
Where radius = 19.69/2 = 9.85cm
Height = 19.69 × 2 = 39.38 cm.
Therefore, amount of aluminum for the first container = (2 × π × 9.85cm × 39.38cm) + [(2 × π × (9.85cm) 2] = 3048.04cm3
The amount of aluminum required for making the second container in cm2
Solution
Let d1= the diameter of the base of the first container, h1= the height of the first container and V1= the volume of the first container.
Similarly, let d2= the diameter of the base of the second container, h2= the height of the second container and V2= the volume of the second container.
Therefore, from the given information, h1=2d1, V1=π (d1/2)2, h1=1/2π d13=1/16πh31
h2=3d2, V1 = π (d2/2)2, h2= 3/4π d23=1/36πh32
We are given that, V1=V2=12L=12000cm3
Therefore, 3/4π d23=12,000cm3
Calculate the value of d2
d2 = [(4 × 12000)/3π] 1/3
d2 = 17.20cm
The diameter of second container = 17.20cm.
Therefore, radius of second container = 17.20/2 = 8.60cm
Height of second container = three times the diameter of the base = 3 × 17.20 = 51.60cm
Hence, the amount of aluminum required to make second container = total surface area = (2 × π × 8.60 × 51.60) + [2 × π × (8.6)2] = 3254.24cm2
