Yes
S = 2 pi r^2 + 2 pi r h
V = pi r^2 h
so
h = 48.42 / pi r^2
so
S = 2 pi r^2 + 2 pi r (48.42 /pi r^2)
S = 2 pi r^2 + 96.84/r
Now I am sure you want to find what r is best for this volume (uses the least metal for area)
dS/dr = 4 pi r - 96.84/r^2
= 0 for max or min of S
4 pi r^3 = 96.84
thnx! :)
how do i find the optimal radius?
We did, read my second answer. I knew that would be next.
4 pi r^3 = 96.84
