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 = πR2hπ R^2 h ...(1)
In right angled triangle ΔOBA
AB2+OB2AB^2+OB^2 = OA2OA^2
R2+h2/4R^2+h^2/4 = r2r^2
So, R2R^2 = r2−h2/4r^2-h^2/4
Putting the value of R2R^2 in equation (1), we get
V = π (r2−h2/4)(r^2-h^2/4) . h
V = π (r2h−h3/4)(r^2h-h^3/4) ... (3)
∴ dV/dh{dV}/{dh} = π (r2−3h2/4)(r^2-{3h^2}/4) ... (4)
For stationary point, dV/dh{dV}/{dh} = 0
π (r2−3h2/4)(r^2-{3h^2}/4) = 0
r2r^2 = 3h2/4{3h^2}/4 , ⇒ h2h^2 = 4r2/3{4r^2}/3 , ⇒ h = 2r/√3{2r}/√3
Now , d2V/dh2{d^2V}/{dh^2} = π (−6/4h)(-6/4h)
∴ [d2V/dh2]ath=2r/√3[{d^2V}/{dh^2}]_{at h={2r}/√3} = π (−3/2,2r/√3)(-3/2,{2r}/√3) < 0
∴ Volume is maximum at h = 2r/√3{2r}/√3
Maximum volume is = π (r2×2r/√3.1/4×8r3/3√3)(r^2×{2r}/√3 . 1/4×{8r^3}/{3√3})
= π (2r3/√3.2r3/3√3)({2r^3}/√3.{2r^3}/{3√3})
= π (6r3.2r3/3√3)({6r^3 . 2r^3}/{3√3})
= 4πr3/4√3{4πr^3}/{4√3} cu. units
OR
Let l, b, and h denote the length breadth and depth of the open rectangular tank.
Given h = 2m
V = 8m38m^3
i.e. 2/b = 8
⇒ lb = 4 or b = 4/l4/l
Surface area, S, of the open rectangular tank of depth 'h' = lb + 2 (l + b) × h
In this problem , b = 4/l4/l , 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,
dS/dl{dS}/{dl} = 4 (1−4/l2)(1-4/l^2)
dS/dl{dS}/{dl} = 0 ⇒ l = 2m
l = 2m for minimum or maximum
Now, d2S/dl2{d^2S}/{dl^2} = 48/l3{48}/l^3 > 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
