Reservoir Optimization
1. **Problem Statement:**
We need to find the radius $r$ and cylindrical height $h$ of a reservoir shaped as a right circular cylinder with a hemispherical top that maximizes the volume, given a total exterior surface area constraint of 700 m².
2. **Formulas and Definitions:**
- Volume $V$ of the reservoir = volume of cylinder + volume of hemisphere:
$$V = \pi r^2 h + \frac{2}{3} \pi r^3$$
- Surface area $S$ (exterior) = lateral surface area of cylinder + surface area of hemisphere (no base area since it's underground):
$$S = 2 \pi r h + 2 \pi r^2$$
- Constraint: $S = 700$
3. **Express $h$ in terms of $r$ using the surface area constraint:**
$$2 \pi r h + 2 \pi r^2 = 700 \implies 2 \pi r h = 700 - 2 \pi r^2 \implies h = \frac{700 - 2 \pi r^2}{2 \pi r} = \frac{700}{2 \pi r} - r = \frac{350}{\pi r} - r$$
4. **Substitute $h$ into the volume formula:**
$$V = \pi r^2 \left(\frac{350}{\pi r} - r\right) + \frac{2}{3} \pi r^3 = 350 r - \pi r^3 + \frac{2}{3} \pi r^3 = 350 r - \frac{1}{3} \pi r^3$$
5. **Maximize $V$ by finding critical points:**
Take derivative with respect to $r$:
$$\frac{dV}{dr} = 350 - \pi r^2$$
Set derivative to zero:
$$350 - \pi r^2 = 0 \implies r^2 = \frac{350}{\pi} \implies r = \sqrt{\frac{350}{\pi}}$$
6. **Calculate $r$ numerically:**
$$r \approx \sqrt{\frac{350}{3.1416}} \approx \sqrt{111.41} \approx 10.55 \text{ m}$$
7. **Calculate $h$ using $r$:**
$$h = \frac{350}{\pi \times 10.55} - 10.55 \approx \frac{350}{33.15} - 10.55 \approx 10.56 - 10.55 = 0.01 \text{ m}$$
8. **Interpretation:**
The optimal height $h$ is approximately 0.01 m, meaning the reservoir is almost a hemisphere with a very short cylindrical section.
9. **Final answer:**
- Radius $r \approx 10.55$ m
- Cylindrical height $h \approx 0.01$ m
These dimensions maximize the storage volume under the surface area constraint of 700 m².
