339. Find the volume of the largest cylinder that can be inscribed in a sphere of radius r.


Let h be the height and R be the base radius of the inscribed cylinder.
In increment OCA comma
       OC squared plus CA squared space equals space OA squared space space space space rightwards double arrow space space space space open parentheses straight h over 2 close parentheses squared plus straight R squared space equals space straight r squared
therefore space space space space space straight R squared space equals space straight r squared minus straight h squared over 4 space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space... left parenthesis 1 right parenthesis

Let V be volume of cylinder
therefore space space space straight V space equals space πR squared straight h space equals space straight pi open parentheses straight r squared minus straight h squared over 4 close parentheses straight h space equals space straight pi over 4 left parenthesis 4 straight r squared straight h minus straight h cubed right parenthesis
space space space space space space space space dV over dh space equals straight pi over 4 left parenthesis 4 straight r squared minus 3 straight h squared right parenthesis
space space space space space space space space dV over dh space equals space 0 space space space space rightwards double arrow space space space space space straight pi over 4 left parenthesis 4 straight r squared minus 3 straight h squared right parenthesis space equals space 0 space space space space space rightwards double arrow space space space 4 straight r squared space minus 3 space straight h squared space equals space 0 space space space space space space rightwards double arrow space space space space space space straight h squared space equals space 4 over 3 straight r squared
space space space space space space space space space space fraction numerator straight d squared straight V over denominator dh squared end fraction space equals space straight pi over 4 left parenthesis 0 minus 6 straight h right parenthesis space equals space minus fraction numerator 3 πh over denominator 2 end fraction
When space straight h space equals space fraction numerator 2 over denominator square root of 3 end fraction straight r comma space space space fraction numerator straight d squared straight V over denominator dh squared end fraction space equals space minus fraction numerator 3 straight pi over denominator 2 end fraction. space fraction numerator 2 straight r over denominator square root of 3 end fraction space equals space minus square root of 3 space straight pi space straight r space less than 0
therefore space space space space space space space straight V space space is space maximum space when space straight h space equals space fraction numerator 2 over denominator square root of 3 end fraction straight r
therefore space space space space greatest space volume space space equals space straight pi over 4 open parentheses 4 straight r squared. space space fraction numerator 2 over denominator square root of 3 end fraction straight r space minus space fraction numerator 8 over denominator 3 square root of 3 end fraction straight r cubed close parentheses
