a cylinder with open top with radius r and height h has surface area 8 cm2 . find the largest possible volume of such a cylinder.

Sagot :

If the surface area of the cylinder is 8cm , then the largest possible volume of such cylinder is (16/3)√(2/3π)  cubic units  .

In the question ,

it is given that ,

the cylinder is an open top ,

given that surface area = 8cm² ,

So , the surface area is = 2πrh + πr²,

8 = 2πrh + πr²

So , h = (8 - πr²)/2πr ,

the volume of the cylinder is (V) = πr²h ,

Substituting the value of h ,

we get ,

V = (8r - πr³)/2,

to find the largest volume , we differentiate it with respect to "r" and equate to 0 ,

we get ,

(8r - πr³)/2 = 0

On Simplifying we get ,

r = √(8/3π) ,

the volume is maximum when r = √(8/3π) ,

So , Volume is = ( 8(√8/3π) - π√(8/3π)³)/2

V = 4(√(8/3π)) - (4/3)(√(8/3π))

V = (8/3)√(8/3π)

V = (16/3)√(2/3π)  cubic units .

Therefore , the maximum volume is (16/3)√(2/3π)  cubic units  .
