12. The engineering discipline of piping design studies the efficient transport of fluid. You are required
to design a stable pipe that can hold 200 litres of fluid at a time. Assuming that it is a closed ended
pipe at both ends, determine the dimensions (radius and height in cm) of the pipe that will minimize
the amount of material used to construct the pipe with justification.

Answer： h = 63.3 cm

13. You are a manufacturer of metal cones. In order to minimize the material used in the
manufacturing process, you need to fabricate the metal cones shown below. You are provided
with 3 copper cones with total volume of 15 m3. Each cone consists of the flat base surface and
lateral surface. Determine the possible dimensions of the lateral surface for each cone to
estimate the amount of copper material needed to construct each cone’s lateral surface. (Given
the dimensions of cone are height of the cone, h, the slant length, s, and the radius of the base,
r ).

Answer : Radius, r = 1.5 m ,

Height, h = 2.1 m
Slant length, s = 2.58 m
