[It is given that a sphere of radius \(r\) has surface area \(4\pi r^2\) and volume \(\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3\).]
A model of a toy is made up of three parts.
The three parts are joined together as shown in the diagram. The model is made of material of negligible thickness.
It is given that the volume of the toy is a fixed value \(k\) cm\(^3\), and the external surface area is a minimum. Use differentiation to find the values of \(r\) and \(h\) in terms of \(k\). Simplify your answers.[7]
