Th e cone has the vertical height 30 and radius 10. Si the
semi vertical angle x of the cone is given by tanx radiuus/ height . Or tan x = 10/30 =
1/3.
Let the cylinder describes in side the cone have a
radius r. Let h be the height of the cone. Then r , h and the semi vertical angle are
related by: r/(30-h) = tanx = 1/3.
So 3r =
30-h.
Or h = 30-3r = 3(10-r)
.
The volume v(r) of the cylinder is given
by:
v(r) = pi*r^2*h =
pi*r^2*(30-3r)
v(r) is maximum for r= c, for which v'(c) =
0 and v"(c) < 0.
v'(r) = 0 gives {'pi* r^2(30-3r)}'
=0
=> pi{30r^2--3r^3}' =
0
=Pi(60r- 9r^2) = 0, Or r(60 -9r). So r =c = 20/3, or r =
c= 0.
v"(c) = pi(60r-18r)< 0 for r = c =
20/3.
h = 30-3r = 30 -3(20/3) =
10
Therefore the maximum volume of the cylinder v(r) =
p*r^2h = pi*r^2(30-3r) = pi*(20/3)^2*(30-3*20/3)= (4000pi)/9 = 1396.2634 sq
units.
In terms of radius the of the cylinder, the maximum
volume of the inscribed cylinder = pi*(30r-3r^2) =
3pi*r^2*(10-r).
(iii) Therefore when r = 20/3, h = 10, the
inscribed cylinnder has the maximum volume = 1396.2634 sq units.
