Soup Can</h1>

<p class="center"><img alt="soup can" src="images/soup-can-1.svg" /></p>
|
|
<p>"Pi Soups Incorporated" want to sell soup in cylindrical
|
|
cans that contain <b>400 ml</b> (milliliters)</p>
|
|
<p>They also want to <b>minimize</b> the amount of metal in each can.</p>
|
|
<p>As the local mathematics expert it is your job to help them!</p>
|
|
<h2>Volume and Surface Area</h2>
|
|
<table border="0">
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<td><img alt="cylinder r and h" src="images/soup-can-2.svg" /></td>
|
|
<td width="30"> </td>
|
|
<td><p>For
|
|
a <a href="../geometry/cylinder.html">cylinder</a> of height <span class="large">h</span> and base
|
|
radius <span class="large">r</span>:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Surface
|
|
Area = 2 × <span class="times">π</span> × r ×
|
|
(r + h)</li>
|
|
<li>Volume = <span class="times">π</span> × r<sup>2 </sup>×
|
|
h</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Which
|
|
can be abbreviated to:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>A = 2<span class="times">π</span>r(r + h)</li>
|
|
<li>V = <span class="times">π</span>r<sup>2</sup>h</li>
|
|
</ul></td>

<h2>Thickness of Metal</h2>
|
|
<p>Let us assume that the metal has uniform thickness, so we just want to find</p>
|
|
<div class="center80">
|
|
<p>The smallest surface area that will hold 400 ml</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>Let us also assume that the thickness of the metal does not affect the volume (i.e. it is very small in comparison to the size of the can.)</p>
|
|
<p><br style="font-weight: normal;" />
|
|
To
|
|
solve this we will work
|
|
in centimeters, so:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>the area is measured in square centimeters (cm<sup
|
|
style="font-weight: normal;">2</sup>)
|
|
and</li>
|
|
<li>the volume is measured in cubic centimeters (cm<sup
|
|
style="font-weight: normal;">3</sup>).<br
|
|
style="font-weight: normal;" /></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>This makes it easy, as <b>1 ml</b> is
|
|
the same as a volume of <b>1 cm<sup style="font-weight: normal;">3</sup></b> - see
|
|
the page <a style="font-weight: normal;"
|
|
href="../measure/metric-volume.html">Metric
|
|
Volume</a>.</p>
|
|
<div class="center80">
|
|
<p>So
|
|
V = 400</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>This gives us the formula 400 = <span class="times">π</span>r<sup>2</sup>h</p>
|
|
<p>Make h <a
|
|
href="../algebra/equation-formula.html">subject
|
|
of the formula</a> :</p>
|
|
<div class="so">Divide both
|
|
sides by <span class="times">π</span>r<sup style="font-weight: normal;">2</sup>: 400/<span class="times">π</span>r<sup
|
|
style="font-weight: bold;">2</sup> = h</div>
|
|
<div class="so">Swap Sides: h = 400/<span class="times">π</span>r<sup
|
|
style="font-weight: bold;">2</sup></div>
|
|
<p><a href="../algebra/substitution.html">Substitute</a> this value for <b>h</b> into the formula for A:</p>
|
|
<div class="so"> A = 2<i><span class="times">π</span></i>r(r+h) = 2<i><span class="times">π</span></i>r(r + 400/<i><span class="times">π</span></i>r<sup
|
|
style="font-weight: normal;">2</sup>) = 2<i><span class="times">π</span></i>r<sup
|
|
style="font-weight: normal;">2</sup> + 800/r</div>
|
|
<p>Now we know the Area in terms of the Radius:</p>
|
|
<div class="center80">
|
|
<p>A = 2<i><span class="times">π</span></i>r<sup
|
|
style="font-weight: normal;">2</sup> + 800/r</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>This is our very simple <a href="../algebra/mathematical-models.html">Mathematical Model</a> of the soup can.</p>
|
|
<h2>Your Turn Now!</h2>
|
|
<p>I have helped you enough. Now it is your turn.</p>
|
|
<p>You can use the formula above to investigate how changing the radius affects the area, and to find which radius gives the least area of metal.</p>
|
|
<p>You can make a report that explains things to everyone (pretend you will have to present this to a meeting of executives), with a graph and a table, and words.</p>
|
|
<div class="dotpoint">
|
|
<p>Graph: draw the graph of the function, find the <b>minimum value</b> (you can use the <a href="../data/function-grapher9cee.html?func1=2pi(x)^2+800/x&xmin=-3.9&xmax=13.5&ymin=-46&ymax=841">Function Grapher</a>)</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="dotpoint">
|
|
<p>Table: find example points on the graph by <a
|
|
href="../algebra/substitution.html">substituting</a> different values
|
|
of r.</p>
|
|
<div class="example">
|
|
<p>For example, if r = 2, then A = 2<i><span class="times">π</span> ×</i> 2<sup style="font-weight: normal;">2</sup> + 800/2 = 8<i><span class="times">π</span> </i>+
|
|
400 = 425 to the
|
|
nearest whole number.</p>
|
|
<p>In other words, when the
|
|
radius of the can is 2cm, the area of
|
|
metal needed to make the can is 425cm<sup style="font-weight: normal;">2</sup>.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<p>Put the example values into a table, like this one:</p>

<h2>A 1 Liter Can</h2>
|
|
<p>What is the best radius for a 1 Liter Can of soup?</p>
|
|
<p> </p>
|
|
<h2>Improving The Model</h2>
|
|
<h3>Air Gap</h3>
|
|
<p>Soup cans are not completely filled with soup ... there is a small air gap on top. You can model this by adding (say) 1cm to the height.</p>
|
|
<p>Can you write the formula including this change?</p>
|
|
<p>How does this affect the graph, and the minimum value?</p>
|
|
<h3>Rims</h3>
|
|
<p>Soup cans have extra thick rims at top and bottom, how could you include this in the formula?</p>
|
