The radius of the cylinder that produces the minimum surface area is 1.34cm and this can be determined by using the formula area and volume of cylinder and hemisphere.

Given :

A solid is formed by adjoining two hemispheres to the ends of a right circular cylinder. The total volume of the solid is 10 cubic centimeters.

The volume of a cylinder is given by:

$\rm V = \pi r^2 h$

The total volume of the two hemispheres is given by:

$\rm V' = 2\times \dfrac{2}{3}\pi r^3$

$\rm V' = \dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

Now, the total volume of the solid is given by:

$\rm V_T = \pi r^2 h+\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

Now, substitute the value of the total volume in the above expression and then solve for h.

$\rm 10 = \pi r^2 h+\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

$\rm h = \dfrac{10}{\pi r^2}-\dfrac{4r}{3}$

Now, the surface area of the curved surface is given by:

$\rm A = 2\pi r h$

Now, the surface area of the two hemispheres is given by:

$\rm A'=2\times (2\pi r^2)$

$\rm A'=4\pi r^2$

Now, the total area is given by:

$\rm A_T = 2\pi rh+4\pi r^2$

Now, substitute the value of 'h' in the above expression.

$\rm A_T = 2\pi r\left(\dfrac{10}{\pi r^2}-\dfrac{4r}{3}\right)+4\pi r^2$

Simplify the above expression.

$\rm A_T = \dfrac{20}{r} + \dfrac{4\pi r^2}{3}$

Now, differentiate the total area with respect to 'r'.

$\rm \dfrac{dA_T}{dr} = -\dfrac{20}{r^2} + \dfrac{8\pi r}{3}$

Now, equate the above expression to zero.

$\rm 0= -\dfrac{20}{r^2} + \dfrac{8\pi r}{3}$

Simplify the above expression in order to determine the value of 'r'.

$8\pi r^3=60$

r = 1.34 cm

r = 1.34

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Solid = Cylinder + 2 hemisphere

Volume = 10cm^3

Required

Determine the radius (r) that minimizes the surface area

First, we need to determine the volume of the shape.

Volume of Cylinder (V1) is:

$V_1 = \pi r^2h$

Volume of 2 hemispheres (V2) is:

$V_2 = \frac{2}{3}\pi r^3 +\frac{2}{3}\pi r^3$

$V_2 = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

Volume of the solid is:

V = V_1 + V_2

$V = \pi r^2h + \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

Substitute 10 for V

$10 = \pi r^2h + \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

Next, we make h the subject

$\pi r^2h = 10 - \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

Solve for h

$h = \frac{10}{\pi r^2} - \frac{\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 }{\pi r^2}$

$h = \frac{10}{\pi r^2} - \frac{4\pi r^3 }{3\pi r^2}$

$h = \frac{10}{\pi r^2} - \frac{4r }{3}$

Next, we determine the surface area

Surface area (A1) of the cylinder:

Note that the cylinder is covered by the 2 hemisphere.

So, we only calculate the surface area of the curved surface.

i.e.

$A_1 = 2\pi rh$

Surface Area (A2) of 2 hemispheres is:

$A_2 = 2\pi r^2+2\pi r^2$

$A_2 = 4\pi r^2$

Surface Area (A) of solid is

A = A_1 + A_2

$A = 2\pi rh + 4\pi r^2$

Substitute $h = \frac{10}{\pi r^2} - \frac{4r }{3}$

$A = 2\pi r(\frac{10}{\pi r^2} - \frac{4r }{3}) + 4\pi r^2$

Open bracket

$A = \frac{2\pi r*10}{\pi r^2} - \frac{2\pi r*4r }{3} + 4\pi r^2$

$A = \frac{2*10}{r} - \frac{2\pi r*4r }{3} + 4\pi r^2$

$A = \frac{20}{r} - \frac{8\pi r^2 }{3} + 4\pi r^2$

$A = \frac{20}{r} + \frac{-8\pi r^2 }{3} + 4\pi r^2$

Take LCM

$A = \frac{20}{r} + \frac{-8\pi r^2 + 12\pi r^2}{3}$

$A = \frac{20}{r} + \frac{4\pi r^2}{3}$

Differentiate w.r.t r

$A' = -\frac{20}{r^2} + \frac{8\pi r}{3}$

Equate A' to 0

$-\frac{20}{r^2} + \frac{8\pi r}{3} = 0$

Solve for r

$\frac{8\pi r}{3} = \frac{20}{r^2}$

Cross Multiply

$8\pi r * r^2 = 20 * 3$

$8\pi r^3 = 60$

Divide both sides by $8\pi$

$r^3 = \frac{60}{8\pi}$

$r^3 = \frac{15}{2\pi}$

Take $\pi = 22/7$

$r^3 = \frac{15}{2 * 22/7}$

$r^3 = \frac{15}{44/7}$

$r^3 = \frac{15*7}{44}$

$r^3 = \frac{105}{44}$

Take cube roots of both sides

$r = \sqrt[3]{\frac{105}{44}}$

$r = \sqrt[3]{2.38636363636}$

r = 1.33632535155

r = 1.34 (approximated)

Hence, the radius is 1.34cm
