3.79 diagram
In this question all lengths are in centimetres. The volume of a cylinder with radius rr and height hh is πr2h\pi r^{2} h and its curved surface area is 2πrh2\pi rh. The volume of a sphere with radius rr is 43πr3\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^{3} and its surface area is 4πr24\pi r^{2}.
The diagram shows a solid object in the shape of a cylinder of base radius rr and height hh, with a hemisphere of radius rr on top. The total surface area of the object is 300cm2300\,\mathrm{cm}^{2}.
(a)
Find an expression for hh in terms of rr.
[2]
(b)
Show that the volume, VV, of the object is 150r56πr3150r - \dfrac{5}{6}\pi r^{3}.
[3]
(c)
Find the maximum volume of the object as rr varies.
