\

The circular cylinder is inscribed in a sphere.

\

\"\"

\

Observe the figure.

\

\"\" be the radius of the sphere.

\

\"\" be the radius of the cylinder.

\

From pythagorean theorem,

\

\"\"

\

The volume of the circular cylinder is \"\".

\

\"\"

\

Apply derivative on each side withj respect to \"\".

\

\"\"

\

\

The volume of the cylinder is maximum when its first derivative becomes zero.

\

Equate \"\" to zero.

\

\"\"

\

Therefore the height of the cylinder is \"\".

\

Substitute \"\" in \"\".

\

\"\"

\

Therefore the largest volume of the cylinder is \"\".

\

\

The largest volume of the cylinder is \"\".
