How do I solve this calculus problem for the radius?

A silo is to be constructed in the form of a cylinder (only 1 of 2 bases included) topped by a hemisphere. The construction cost per square unit of surface area for the hemisphere is 2.0 times as much as for the cylinder and the volume must be 840000 cubic feet. If construction costs are to be minimized, what should the radius be?
