Question

A water container is made in the shape of a cylinder with internal height h cm and internal base radius r cm.

N16/5/MATSD/SP2/ENG/TZ0/06

The water container has no top. The inner surfaces of the container are to be coated with a water-resistant material.

The volume of the water container is 0.5 m3.

The water container is designed so that the area to be coated is minimized.

One can of water-resistant material coats a surface area of 2000 cm2.

Write down a formula for A, the surface area to be coated.

[2]
a.

Express this volume in cm3.

[1]
b.

Write down, in terms of r and h, an equation for the volume of this water container.

[1]
c.

Show that A=πr21000000r.

[2]
d.

Show that A=πr2+1000000r.

[2]
d.

Find dAdr.

[3]
e.

Using your answer to part (e), find the value of r which minimizes A.

[3]
f.

Find the value of this minimum area.

[2]
g.

Find the least number of cans of water-resistant material that will coat the area in part (g).

Markscheme

(A=) πr2+2πrh    (A1)(A1)

 

Note:     Award (A1) for either πr2 OR 2πrh seen. Award (A1) for two correct terms added together.

 

[2 marks]

a.

500000    (A1)

 

Notes:     Units not required.

 

[1 mark]

b.

500000=πr2h    (A1)(ft)

 

Notes:     Award (A1)(ft) for πr2h equating to their part (b).

Do not accept unless V=πr2h is explicitly defined as their part (b).

 

[1 mark]

c.

A=πr2+2πr(500000πr2)    (A1)(ft)(M1)

 

Note:     Award (A1)(ft) for their 500000πr2 seen.

Award (M1) for correctly substituting only 500000πr2 into a correct part (a).

Award (A1)(ft)(M1) for rearranging part (c) to πrh=500000r and substituting for πrh in expression for A.

 

A=πr2+1000000r    (AG)

 

Notes:     The conclusion, A=πr2+1000000r, must be consistent with their working seen for the (A1) to be awarded.

Accept 106 as equivalent to 1000000.
