To solve the problem of finding the height of the cylinder of greatest volume that can be inscribed in a right circular cone of height \( h \) and semi-vertical angle \( \alpha \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Geometry We have a right circular cone with height \( h \) and a semi-vertical angle \( \alpha \). The radius of the base of the cone can be expressed in terms of \( h \) and \( \alpha \) as: \[ R = h \tan \alpha \] where \( R \) is the radius of the cone's base. ...
