[The volume of a sphere of radius r is 43πr3\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3, and its surface area is 4πr24\pi r^2.] The diagram shows a bubble tea cup of capacity 360π cm3360\pi\ \text{cm}^3.

Worked solution

8(a)

1. Formulate an equation for the total volume of the cup.

Volume of cylinder + Volume of hemisphere = 360π360\pi
πr2h+23πr3=360π\pi r^2 h + \frac{2}{3}\pi r^3 = 360\pi

2. Express the height $h$ in terms of $r$.

r2h+23r3=360r^2 h + \frac{2}{3}r^3 = 360
r2h=360−23r3r^2 h = 360 - \frac{2}{3}r^3
h=360r2−23rh = \frac{360}{r^2} - \frac{2}{3}r

3. Formulate an expression for the total surface area $S$.

The surface area consists of the circular base, the curved surface of the cylinder, and the curved surface of the hemisphere.
S=πr2+2πrh+2πr2S = \pi r^2 + 2\pi r h + 2\pi r^2
S=3πr2+2πrhS = 3\pi r^2 + 2\pi r h

4. Substitute $h$ into the surface area expression and simplify to show the given result.

S=3πr2+2πr(360r2−23r)S = 3\pi r^2 + 2\pi r \left( \frac{360}{r^2} - \frac{2}{3}r \right)
S=3πr2+720πr−43πr2S = 3\pi r^2 + \frac{720\pi}{r} - \frac{4}{3}\pi r^2
S=(3−43)πr2+720πrS = \left(3 - \frac{4}{3}\right)\pi r^2 + \frac{720\pi}{r}
S=53πr2+720πrS = \frac{5}{3}\pi r^2 + \frac{720\pi}{r}
S=π(53r2+720r)S = \pi\left(\frac{5}{3}r^2 + \frac{720}{r}\right)

Answer

S=π(53r2+720r)S = \pi\left(\frac{5}{3}r^2 + \frac{720}{r}\right) (Shown)

8(b)

1. Differentiate $S$ with respect to $r$.

S=π(53r2+720r−1)S = \pi\left(\frac{5}{3}r^2 + 720r^{-1}\right)

dSdr=π(103r−720r−2)\frac{\text{d}S}{\text{d}r} = \pi\left(\frac{10}{3}r - 720r^{-2}\right)

2. Set the derivative to zero to find the value of $r$ at the stationary point.

For a stationary value, dSdr=0\frac{\text{d}S}{\text{d}r} = 0.

π(103r−720r2)=0\pi\left(\frac{10}{3}r - \frac{720}{r^2}\right) = 0

103r=720r2\frac{10}{3}r = \frac{720}{r^2}

r3=720×310=216r^3 = 720 \times \frac{3}{10} = 216

r=2163=6r = \sqrt[3]{216} = 6

3. Calculate the stationary value of $S$.

Substitute r=6r = 6 into SS:

S=π(53(6)2+7206)S = \pi\left(\frac{5}{3}(6)^2 + \frac{720}{6}\right)

S=π(60+120)=180πS = \pi(60 + 120) = 180\pi

4. Determine the nature of the stationary value using the second derivative test.

d2Sdr2=π(103+1440r−3)\frac{\text{d}^2S}{\text{d}r^2} = \pi\left(\frac{10}{3} + 1440r^{-3}\right)

When r=6r = 6,
d2Sdr2=π(103+144063)=π(103+1440216)=10π\frac{\text{d}^2S}{\text{d}r^2} = \pi\left(\frac{10}{3} + \frac{1440}{6^3}\right) = \pi\left(\frac{10}{3} + \frac{1440}{216}\right) = 10\pi

Since d2Sdr2>0\frac{\text{d}^2S}{\text{d}r^2} > 0, the stationary value is a minimum.

Answer

Stationary value is 180π180\pi, and it is a minimum.
