Question:medium

A solid \(S\) is made from a cylinder surmounted by a hemisphere on top with both its circular faces sharing a common centre. The radius of cylinder and radius of hemisphere are \(x\) cm. The height of the cylinder is \((20-4x)\) cm and the volume of \(S\) is \(V=\frac{1}{3}\pi y\). Find the maximum value of \(y\).

Show Hint

For maximum volume problems, first express the required quantity as a function of one variable, then differentiate and use the second derivative test.
