A box with a square base and open top must have a volume of 32000cm3 find the dimensions of the box that minimize the amount of material used?

Suppose the sides of the base are x cm, and the height is h cm.
Then the volume = x2*h = 32000 cm3
The amount of material used for the base and 4 sides (no top) is x2 + 4xh cm2
So the requirement is to minimise x2 + 4xh
subject to x2h = 32000 or h = 32000/x2
So minimise x2 + 4x*32000/x2
or x2 + 128000/x
Setting the derivative = 0,
2x - 128000/x2 = 0
or 2x3 = 128000
or x3 = 64000 or x = 40 cm.
And then h = 32000/x2 = 20 cm.

Is transmittance a more accurate measurement?
Transmittance is a measurement of the amount of light that is able to pass through a material, and it can be used to accurately determine the amount of light that is transmitted. However, the accuracy of the measurement depends on factors such as the quality of the equipment used and the conditions under which the measurement is taken. Therefore, while transmittance can provide an accurate measurement, it is important to ensure that proper procedures and equipment are used to minimize errors.
The amount of mass in a given volume of matter?

The amount of water a pot can hold?
is called its capacity and depends upon the dimensions of the pot up to its lowest aperture, its porosity, its strenght.
Does the value of thermal conductivity depend on the dimension of the specimen?
Thermal conductivity is an intensive property. It is inherent in the material but not dependent on the amount of material. This should not be confused with the rate of heat conduction which can depend on the dimensions of a material. There is one case where the thermal conductivity might depend on the dimension of the material - when the conductivity is not uniform with direction, i.e. where conductivity laterally is different from conductivity longitudinally. When the orientation of the material changes the conductivity, the dimensions can have an effect on the apparent bulk thermal conductivity.
Minimum amount of material required to make a component to fullfill its requirement?
this is something that you should calculate using design formulas for the component you are making. example: if you have to manufacture shaft you have to calculate its dimensions for the load it is to take and the forces acting on the shaft.If this is done you get the value of dimensions and now you could find out the minimum value of material required for the shaft

What is plastigauge?
Plastigauge is the name given to a precise method of measuring clearances between bearing surfaces using a plastic material. It consists of a material with precise known dimensions and deformation characteristics. The plastigauge material is sandwiched between the clean bearing surfaces. The dimensional clearance is then determined by comparing the amount that the gauge material has expanded or flattened. Dimensions of better than .oo1 inch can be accurately measured by this method. The material is usually color coded to indicate the range of measurement use for each gauge.

How does landscaping use geometry?
Geometry is actually widely used in the landscaping industry; it is used to consider the height of shrubs as well as the dimensions of a garden and its placement, and dimensions of the material which should be used. Architects use an incredibly large amount of geometry. This ranges from determining the angle and lengths at which materials.
What is the measure of the amount of object or material?
Mass measures the amount of matter in an object or material.
What do you think you can do to minimize photodecomposition in labs?
Simply reduce the amount of light in the lab.
How u can possibly help to minimize climate change?
we can minimize climate change by only our small effort. we have to avoide the things that emits corbondioxide in large amount. we can also do plantation work, which also helps in large amount.
