The dimensions of the circular cylinder of maximum volume inscribed in sphere is r = 20.4 cm , h = 28.86 cm.
What is a sphere ?
A sphere is a three dimensional round shaped figure , It has no vertices and the distance form the centre to any point on the sphere is same.
It is given that
A right circular cylinder is inscribed in a sphere
The circular cylinder has the maximum volume
Radius of the sphere is 25 cm.
Dimensions of the cylinder = ?
As it is a right cylinder.
The Pythagoras theorem can be applied
r² + (h/2)² = 25²
r² = 625 - h²/4
volume of the cylinder
= πh(625 - h²/4)
= π(625 h - h³/4)
As the volume is maximum ,
so the derivative of the expression = 0
π(625 - 3h²/4) = 0
so h = 50 /√ 3
so r² = 625 - 2500 / (3 *4 )
r = 20.4 cm
h = 28.86 cm
Therefore the dimensions of the circular cylinder of maximum volume inscribed in a sphere is r = 20.4 cm , h = 28.86 cm.
