33. A conical drinking cup is made from a circular piece of paper of radius R by cutting out a sector and joining the edges CA and CB. Find the maximum capacity of such a cup.
h^2 + r^2 = R^2
V(h) = (Pi)(r^2)(h)/3
r^2 =
R^2 - h^2
= (Pi)(R^2 - h^2)(h) / 3
= (Pi)(R^2h - h^3) / 3
V'(h) = (Pi)(R^2 - 3h^2)/3
Critical numbers:
(Pi)(R^2 - 3h^2)/3 = 0
R^2 - 3h^2 = 0
-3h^2 = -R^2
h^2 = (R^2)/3
h = sqrt[(R^2)/3]
h = R/ sqrt(3)
V[R/ sqrt(3)] = (Pi)(R^2h - h^3) / 3
= (Pi)[(R^2)(R/ sqrt(3)) - (R/ sqrt(3))^3] / 3
= (Pi)[(R^3)/ sqrt(3) - (R^3) / 3 sqrt(3)] / 3
= (Pi)([(3R^3) - (R^3)] / 3 sqrt(3)) / 3
= (Pi)(2R^3/ 3 sqrt(3)) / 3
= 2Pi R^3 / 9 sqrt(3)
