Solution
Given a cylinder
S = 2πrh + πr2 .......(1)
V = πr2 h .......(2 )
From (1) S - πr2 = 2 πrh
`h = [(S -pir^2)/(2pir)] = S/(2pir) - r/2`
Put in (2)
`V = pir^2h = pir^2 [ S/(2pir) - r/2] = (Sr)/2 - (pir^3)/2`
Now diff on both sides by ‘r’
`(dv)/(dr) = S/2 - (3pir^2)/2`
For max/min `(dv)/(dr) = 0`
`S/2 - (3pir^2)/2 = 0 ⇒ S = 3pir^2` ........(3)
`(d^2 v)/(dr^2) = -3pir = -3 pi x sqrt(S/3pi) <0`
∴ By second derivative test it is maxima from (1) & (3)
`2pirh + pir^2 = 3pir^2`
`2pir h = 2 pir^2`
h = r

A metal wire of 36 cm long is bent to form a rectangle. By completing the following activity, find it’s dimensions when it’s area is maximum.
Solution: Let the dimensions of the rectangle be x cm and y cm.
∴ 2x + 2y = 36
Let f(x) be the area of rectangle in terms of x, then
f(x) = `square`
∴ f'(x) = `square`
∴ f''(x) = `square`
For extreme value, f'(x) = 0, we get
x = `square`
∴ f''`(square)` = – 2 < 0
∴ Area is maximum when x = `square`, y = `square`
∴ Dimensions of rectangle are `square`
