Find the mmaximum volume of cylinder, generated by rotating a rectangle of perimeter 48 about one of its side.

Open in App
Solution

Let the length of the rectangle = x unitsLet the breadth of the rectangle = y unitsNow, perimeter of rectangle = 48 units2length + breadth = 48x + y = 24y = 24 - x .....1Suppose the rectangle is rotated about the breadth.Now, radius of base of cylinder = r = x2Height of cylinder = h = yNow, volume of cylinder = πr2hV = π×x2424-xV = π424x2 - x3dVdx = π448x - 3x2For maxima or minima dVdx = 0π448x - 3x2 = 048x - 3x2 = 03x16-x = 0x = 16 or x = 0 rejectedd2Vdx2 = π448-6x d2Vdx2x=16 = π448-6×16 = -12π < 0So, volume is maximum at x = 16Maximum volume = π424162 - 163 = π4×2048 = 512π cubic units
