1. A cylindrical tin can closed at the both ends of a given capacity, has to be constructed.

Show that the amount of the tin required will be a minimum when the height is equal to the diagram. Solution: Let r be the radian and h be the height of the cylinder So . (I) [

Amount of tin required, P (say) =Area of curved surface + Area of both end = From (I) putting this value in (II), (II)

So

i.e, height = diameter Also

Hence P is Minimum where

2. The force F exerted by a circular electric current of radian on a magnet whose axis coincides with the axis coil is given by; F is greater when . Where X is the distance of the circle. Show that

Solution: Given Or, Or, 3. A window is in the form of a rectangle surrounded by a semi circle .if the total parameter is 25 ft find the dimensions so that the greatest possible amount of light may be admitted. Solution: Let 2X be the breadth, y be the height of the window, then radius of the semicircle = X So perimeter

Amount of light depends upon open area of the window Elimination y from Or, Or, Or, from the equation &

So

heigh of the rectangle = radian of the semicircle.

4. A particle is moving in a straight line .is distance x from a fixed point 0 at any time t sec is given by the relation when is it moving most slowly? Solution: Given So

When

Now

So When t=1 then v is maximum So

When t=4 then v is minimum Hence the particle will be moving must slowly at the end of 4 seconds.

5. A gardener having 120ft of fencing wishes to enclose a rectangular plot of land & also to erect a fence across the land parallel to two of the sides .what is the maximum area he can enclosed? Solution: let x and y be the length & breath of the rectangular plot Then

So, also area to be enclosed

When From equation (I) we can write So,

Therefore, thus area is maximum if

6. The height of a particle projected with velocity u at an angle

with horizontal is

at any time t. find the greatest height attained & the time of reaching it. Solution: Let be the height at any time ,then

And maximum height

7. The force F extended by a circular electric current of radius a on a magnet whose axis coincides with the axis of the coil is given by where x is the distance of the . magnet form the centre of the circle. Show that F is greatest when

Solution: 398. A short is fired with a velocity at vertical wall whose distance from the point of projection is . Find the greatest height above the level of the point of projection at which the bullet can hit the wall. Solution: Let projection. be the vertical height of the height of the tangent on the wall & the angle of

If is the time taken by the bullet, then

Eliminating

we get

Now

when

Because sec 0 nor = 0 Now

Is maximum & putting

in

greatest height

41.9. The intensity of light varies inversely as the square of the distance from the source. If two light are 150 ft. apart & one light is 8 times as strong as the other, where should an object be placed between the lights to have the least illumination? Solution: Suppose P,Q be the sources of light, where p is stronger than Q Let O be the object placed between P, Q, where Then intensity

For the value of

10. Find the length of the perpendicular from the point upon the line showing that it is the shortest distance of the point from the line. Find also the foot of the perpendicular. Solution: Suppose the distance between and any point of the given line is

From the given line Putting the value of y in

Now Hence from Hence from this value of the perpendicular distance is and foot of

is the shortest distance and

the perpendicular is
