Answer

$\frac{4\pi{r^{3}}}{3\sqrt 3}$

Work Step by Step

The cylinder has volume $V$ = $\pi{y^{2}}(2x)$ $x^{2}+y^{2}$ = $r^{2}$ $y^{2}$ = $r^{2}-x^{2}$ $V(x)$ = $\pi(r^{2}-x^{2})(2x)$ = $2\pi(r^{2}x-x^{3})$ where $0$ $\leq$ $x$ $\leq$ $r$ $V'(x)$ = $2\pi(r^{2}-3x^{2})$ $V'(x)$ = $0$ $2\pi(r^{2}-3x^{2})$ = $0$ $x$ = $\frac{r}{\sqrt 3}$ $V(0)$ = $V(r)$ = $0$ so there is a maximum when $x$ = $\frac{r}{\sqrt 3}$ and $V\left(\frac{r}{\sqrt 3}\right)$ = $\pi\left(r^{2}-\frac{r^{2}}{3}\right)\left(\frac{2r}{\sqrt 3}\right)$ = $\frac{4\pi{r^{3}}}{3\sqrt 3}$
