Question
A company produces cylindrical pop cans with internal base radius r=5cm and height h=15cm. They wish to reduce r by 0.1 cm. In order to keep the volume of pop the same, we find, using differentials, that h should change by:
Explanation / Answer
V = r^2 h = (5^2)(15) = 375
375 = r^2 h
r^2 h = 375
h = 375/r^2
h = (dh/dr) r
h = (-750/r^3)r
h = (-750/5^3)(-0.1) = 0.6
h should change by 0.6 cm.
