Find the volume of the largest cylinder that can be inscribed in a sphere of radius r. OR A tank with rectangular base and rectangular sides, open at the top is to be constructed so that its depth is 2 m and volume is 8 m³. If building of tank costs Rs. 70 per square metre for the base and Rs. 45 per square metre for sides, what is the cost of least expensive tank?
Solution:
The given sphere is of radius R. Let h be the height and r be the radius of the cylinder inscribed in the sphere. Volume of cylinder V = ...(1) In right angled triangle ΔOBA
= = So, = Putting the value of in equation (1), we get V = π . h V = π ... (3) ∴ = π ... (4) For stationary point, = 0 π = 0 = , ⇒ = , ⇒ h = Now , = π ∴ = π < 0 ∴ Volume is maximum at h = Maximum volume is = π = π = π = cu. units OR Let l, b, and h denote the length breadth and depth of the open rectangular tank. Given h = 2m V = i.e. 2/b = 8 ⇒ lb = 4 or b = Surface area, S, of the open rectangular tank of depth 'h' = lb + 2 (l + b) × h In this problem , b = , lb = 4 metre , h = 2 metre ∴ S = 4 + 2 (l + 4/l) × 2 ⇒ S = 4 + 4 (l + 4/l) For maxima or minima, differentiating with respect to l we get, = 4 = 0 ⇒ l = 2m l = 2m for minimum or maximum Now, = > 0 for all l So l = 2m is a point of minima and minimum surface area is S = lb + 2 (l + b) × h = 4 + 2 × 8 = 4 + 16 = 20 square meters Base Area = 4 square metres; Lateral surface area = 16 square metres cost = 4 × 70 + 16 × 45 = 280 + 720 = Rs. 1000
