A grain storage silo with a filling opening on the very top is designed to have a volume of 5767 cubic yards. It has a cylindrical shape with a hemisphere on the top and needs no base. Note that the hemispherical top can also be filled completely. If the hemispherical top requires material that is $10 per square yard and the cylindrical side needs material that is $5 per square yard, determine the dimensions that will minimize the total cost. Also find the cost of the optimum silo to the nearest dollar.

Please solve this optimization problem! Thank you a bunch!

A grain storage silo with a filling opening on the very top is designed to have a
volume of 576n cubic yards. It has a cylindrical shape with a hemisphere on the top and
needs no base. Note that the hemispherical top can also be filled completely. If the
hemispherical top requires material that is $10 per square yard and the cylindrical side
needs material that is $5 per square yard, determine the dimensions that will minimize the
total cost. Also find the cost of the optimum silo to the nearest dollar.
