Answer:
Hence, dimensions of the base such that volume of this tank is maximum = √(40/3) m
Explanation :
Let side of square tank be x .
And, height be y .
Then, Volume = x²y .
And, Surface area = x² + 4xy .
→ 40 = x² + 4xy .
→ y = ( 40 - x² ) / 4x .
Then, V(y) = x² ( 40 - x² )/4x.
= x( 40 - x² ) / 4 .
Now, dV/dx = ( 40 - 3x² )/4 .
And, d²V/dx² = -3x/2 = Vmax.
Therefore, dV/dx = 0 .
→ ( 40 - 3x² )/4 = 0 .
→ 40 - 3x² = 0 .
→ 3x² = 40 .
→ x² = 40/3 .
x = √(40/3) m.
Hence, dimensions of the base such that volume of this tank is maximum = √(40/3) m
