I have a pit ham can I slice it and serve for sandwiches without baking the ham?
u should use a perfect sphere
the equation to use is : Pi x R^2 x H 500cm^3 (volume)
It's a cylinder which has a specified volume so you can work out height in terms of radiusSo you can work out surface area in terms of radiusYou need to find the value of r which minimises the surface area so the surface area will be bigger for larger r and will also be bigger for smaller rSo find r where dA/dr 0 and check that for bigger and smaller r you get an increase in surface area I get volume ( for r and h in centimeters ) 500hpir^2 so h500/pi/r^2 and surface area 2pirh +2pir^2 2pir(500/pi/r^2 + r) 2pi(500/pi/r +r^2) - the 2pi obviously doesn't matter so can you differentiate 500/pi/r + r^2 w.r.tr then find the value of r for which this differential is zero?
The can is cylindricalThe volume is pir^2h The area of the can is the area of the bottom and top 2pir^2 plus the area of the sides which is the circumference of the ends times the height 2pirh So the surface area S 2pir^2 + 2pirhYou require the can to have a fixed volume VSo pir^2h VUsing the suggestion at the end of your question, plug in each radius value; calculate the resulting h from the volume formula, then using that h and r calculate the surface from the surface formulaYou should have three colums of figures r, h, and SYou should be able then to fine where S is the lowest.
Partially internally trimmed PIT hamThese are generally smoked ahead of time and edibleHowever, you need to check the wrapper to determine if it is safe to eat as isTo heat, set your oven for 350 and cook approximately 10 minutes per pound.
