4.I am trying to figure out the optimal radius that will give the lowest surface area of a cylinder. I
...
have done the calculus which reveals that the surface area is at a minimum when height is double the radius. I am now trying to find an equation for the relationship between the amount of wasted surface area as a percentage of the minimum surface area and the ratio between height and radius.
If I were to plot it on a graph, the y axis would be the percentage of excess materials needed as a percentage of the minimum possible surface area, and the x axis would be height divided by radius. Since the surface area is minimized when height=2(radius), I know that when x=2, y=0.
The website https://www.datagenetics.com/blog/august12014/index.html explains what I am trying to do quite well and shows the graph below. I am trying to find the equation for this graph, but am unsure how to go about it.

8.Consider a fluid bounded by two parallel plates extended to infinity such that no end effects are encountered (unidirectional flow
...
countered (unidirectional flow or parallel flow). The planer walls and the fluids are initially at rest. Lower plate moves to left and upper plate to right. Let the fluids be an oil, where kinematic viscosity (ν) = 2.17 x 10-4m2/s and the distance between both plate (h) is 10 mm. U0 = 0.4 m/s I need to find the governing equation, boundary conditions, initial conditions and to derive velocity distribution in steady state.
Also, Use FTCS explicit method to calculate the velocity distribution as a function of time by implementing these governing equation in Matlab

10.So I am looking at polar and Cartesian and converting between the two. My question is, I have never seen
...
seen an equation of a circle this is moved in both the x and y direction be converted to a polar equation.
For example, I know that the equation of a circle x^(2)+(y-2)^(2)=4 is r=4sin(theta) when converted to polar. Same thing for a translation with the x variable. However, I have never seen, nor do I know how to do, a conversion of a circle with both translations. For example, converting this equation of a circle to a polar equation: (x+3)^(2)+(y-4)^(2)=4. I have no idea how to do such a thing and cannot find any examples of such.
Hope you can shed some light on this, Thanks.
