Question

a cone is constructed by cutting a sector from a circular sheet of metal with radius . the cut sheet is then folded up and welded. find the radius and height of the cone with maximum volume that can be formed in this way.

Answer 1

The expression for the radius and height of the cone can be obtained from

the property of a function at the maximum point.

• $The \ radius, \ of \ the \ base \ of \ the \ cone \ is \ \sqrt{ \dfrac{3}{4}} \times radius \ of \ circular \ sheet \ metal$

• The height of the cone is half the length of the radius of the circular sheet metal.

Reasons:

The part used to form the cone = A sector of a circle

The length of the arc of the sector = The perimeter of the circle formed by the base of the cone.

$Volume \ of \ a \ cone = \dfrac{1}{3} \cdot \pi \cdot r^3 \cdot h$

• $Volume \ of \ a \ cone, \, V = \dfrac{1}{3} \cdot \pi \cdot r^3 \cdot \sqrt{(s^2- r^2)}$

θ/360·2·π·s = 2·π·r

Where;

s = The radius of he circular sheet metal

h = s² - r²

• $\dfrac{dV}{dr} = \dfrac{d}{dr} \left(\dfrac{1}{3} \cdot \pi \cdot r^3 \cdot \sqrt{(s^2- r^2)}\right) = \dfrac{\pi \cdot (3 \cdot r^2 \cdot s^2 - 4 \cdot r^4)}{\sqrt{(s^2- r^2)}} = 0$

3·r²·s² - 4·r⁴ = 0

3·r²·s² = 4·r⁴

3·s² = 4·r²

$\underline{\left \right. The \ radius, \, r =\sqrt{ \dfrac{3}{4}} \cdot s}$

$\underline{The \ height, \, h =\sqrt{s^2 - \dfrac{3}{4}\cdot s^2} = \dfrac{s}{2}}}$
