Ex 6.3, 26 Show that semi-vertical angle of right circular cone of given surface area and maximum volume is tan ā1 (1/3) Let š , h & l be the radius, height & slant height of a cone respectively And Let V & S be the volume & surface area & Īø be a semi vertical angle of a cone Given surface Area of a cone is constant Surface Area of a cone = Ļš^2+ššš S = Ļš^2+ššš S ā Ļš^2=ššš (š ā šš^2)/(\ šš)=š š = (š ā šš^2)/(\ šš) We need to find minimize volume of a cone & show that semi vertical angle is sin (ā1)/3 i.e. Īø =š šš (ā1)/3 sin Īø =1/3 We know that sin Īø =š/š Volume of a cone = 1/3 šš^2 ā V = 1/3 šš^2 ā(š^2āš^2 ) V = 1/3 šš^2 ā(((š ā šš^2)/šš)^2āš^2 ) We need to find minimize volume of a cone & show that semi vertical angle is sin (ā1)/3 i.e. Īø =š šš (ā1)/3 sin Īø =1/3 We know that sin Īø =š/š Volume of a cone = 1/3 šš^2 ā V = 1/3 šš^2 ā(š^2āš^2 ) V = 1/3 šš^2 ā(((š ā šš^2)/šš)^2āš^2 ) V = 1/3 šš^2 ā((š ā šš^2 )^2/(š^2 š^2 )āš^2 ) V = 1/3 šš^2 ā(((š ā šš^2 )^2 ā šš^2 (š^2 ))/(š^2 š^2 )) V = 1/3 šš^2 ā(((š ā šš^2 )^2 ā š^2 š^4)/(š^2 š^2 š)) V = (šš^2)/3šš ā((š āšš^2 )^2āš^2 š^4 ) V = ((š))/3 ā(ć(š )^2+(šš^2 )ć^2ā2š ćššć^2āš^2 š^4 ) V = š/3 ā(š ^2+š^2 š^4ā2ššš^2āš^2 š^4 ) V = š/3 ā(š ^2ā2 ššš^2 ) V = 1/3 ā(š^2 (š ^2ā2 š šš^2 ) ) V = 1/3 ā(š^2 š ^2ā2 š šš^4 ) Since V has square root It will be difficult to differentiate So, we take Z = V2 Z = 1/9 (š^2 š ^2ā2 š šš^4 ) Since V is positive, Z is maximum if V2 is maximum So, we maximize Z = V2 Diff.
