Question: Problem 2 CL - ME: 2 0 / Others: 2 5 You want to design a cylindrical vessel ( closed at the top and bottom

Problem 2 CL-ME:20/Others:25 You want to design a cylindrical vessel (closed at the top and bottom)
at a minimal cost. The next is a set of specifications the vessel should have:
-Total internal capacity of the vessel =VT
-Maximum height to diameter ratio =Rmax
-Minimum height to diameter ratio =Rmin
The price of the metal used for the vessel is P(US$m2)
i) Formulate the corresponding optimization problem to calculate the optimal dimensions of the
vessel.
ii) Draw a schematic of the objective function and feasible region using the following values
10m3,Rmax=10,Rmin=1 and P=$30m2). Please use level curves to describe the objective
function over the feasible region.
