Show that the semi-vertical angle of the right circular cone of given surface area and maximum volume is sin1(13)

Open in App
Solution

With usual notation, given that total surface area S=πrl+πr2
S=πrr2+h2+πr2 (I=r2+h2)
Sπrr=r2+h2S2π2r22Sπ=h2h=S2π2r22Sπ (S2π2r2>2Sπ) (i)
and volume V=13πr2h=13πr2S2π2r22Sπ
V=r3S22Sπr2,r2<S2π i.e., 0<r<S2π
Since, V is maximum, then V^2 is maximum\\
Now, V2=S2r292Sπr49,0<r<S2π
ddr(V2)=2rS29=8Sπr39
and ddr2(V2)=2S2924Sπr29
For maxima put dVdr=0
2rS298Sπr39=0r2=S4πd2(V2)dr2<0 for r=S4π
From Eq. (i) h=S2π2r22Sπ=S2(4π)π2S2Sπ=2Sπ
If θ is semi-vertical angle of the cone when the volume is maximum,
then in right triangle AOC,
sinθ=rr2+h2=S4πS4π+2Sπ=11+8i.e.,θ=sin1(13)
