Question -

Show that the right circular cylinder of given surface andmaximum volume is such that is heights is equal to the diameter of the base.



Answer -

Let┬аr┬аand┬аh┬аbethe radius and height of the cylinder respectively.

Then, the surface area (S)┬аofthe cylinder is given by,

Let┬аV┬аbe the volume of thecylinder. Then,

тИ┤ By second derivative test, the volume is the maximumwhen

Hence, the volume is the maximum when the height is twicethe radius i.e., when the height is equal to the diameter.
