Techniques and Applications Of Differentiation Q6

A right circular cone of radius \({r}\) and height \({h}\) is to be cut out of a sphere of radius \({R}\).

It is a requirement that the circumference of the base of the cone and its vertex lie on the surface of the sphere.

Determine, in exact form in terms of \({R}\), and with full justification, the maximum volume of the cone that can be cut out of this sphere.
