Show that the height of the cylinder of maximum volume that can be inscribed in a sphere of radius R is `2R/sqrt(3)` . Also find maximum volume.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`h^2=R^2-r^2`
Volume of cylinder
`r^2=R^2-h^2`
`pir^2(2h)=2pir^2h`
`2pi(R^2-h^2)h`
`(dv)/(dh)=0`
`d/dx[2pi(R^2-h^2)h]=0`
`(R^2-h^2)+h*(-2h)=0`
