A solid hemisphsere is mounted on a solid cylinder, both having equla radii. If the whole solid is to have a fixed surface are and the maximum possible volume, then the ratio of the height of the cylinder to the common radius is

A

`1:1`

B

`1:2`

C

`2:1`

D

`sqrt(2):1`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`S=2 pi R^(2)+2 pi Rh +pi R^(2)`
(R= radius of hemisphere & cylinder)
`V=(2)/(3)pi R^(3)+piR^(2)H`
`V=(2)/(3)pr R^(3)+ piR^(2)xx((5-3 pi R^(2))/(2 pi R))`
`(dV)/(dR)= 2 pi R^(2)+(5)/(2)-(9 pi)/(2) R^(2)`
For maximum & minimum `(dV)/(dR)=0`
`5pi R^(2)=S`
`5piR^(2)=3piR^(2)+2 piRh`
`h:H=1:1`

A right circular cylinder and a right circular cone have the same radius and the same volume. The ratio of the height of the cylinder to that of the cone is

A solid hemisphere is attached to the top of a cylinder, having the same radius as that of the cylinder. If the height of the cylinder were doubled (keeping both radii fixed), the volume of the entire system would have increased by 50%. By what percentage would the volue have increased if the radii of the hemisphere and the cylinder were doubled (keeping the height fixed)?
