Answer:

The maximum volume of cone is 138.25 m³

[tex]Radius, r=7\sqrt{\dfrac{2}{3}}[/tex] m

[tex]Height, h=\dfrac{7}{\sqrt{3}}[/tex] m

Step-by-step explanation:

A right circular cone whose hypotenuse is [tex]\sqrt{7}[/tex] m

It is revolved about one leg to generate a right circular cone.

Let radius be r m and height be h m

For right angle triangle,

[tex]r^2+h^2=7^2[/tex]

[tex]r^2=49-h^2[/tex]

Volume of generated cone [tex]=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi r^2h[/tex]

[tex]V=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi (49-h^2)h[/tex]

Differentiate w.r.t h

[tex]\dfrac{dV}{dh}=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi (49-3h^2)[/tex]

For maximum/minimum [tex]\dfrac{dV}{dh}=0[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{1}{3}\pi (49-3h^2)=0[/tex]

[tex]h=\dfrac{7}{\sqrt{3}}[/tex]

[tex]r^2=49-\dfrac{49}{3}[/tex]

[tex]r=7\sqrt{\dfrac{2}{3}}[/tex]

Using double derivative test

[tex]\dfrac{d^2V}{dh^2}=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi (-6h)[/tex]

At [tex]h=\dfrac{7}{\sqrt{3}}[/tex]  

[tex]\dfrac{d^2V}{dh^2}<0[/tex] so get maximum volume.

Dimension of cone:

[tex]Radius, r=7\sqrt{\dfrac{2}{3}}[/tex] m

[tex]Height, h=\dfrac{7}{\sqrt{3}}[/tex] m

[tex]V=\frac{1}{3}\pi\cdot\left(7\sqrt{\frac{2}{3}}\right)^{2}\cdot\frac{7}{\sqrt{3}}[/tex]

The maximum volume of cone is 138.25 m³
