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
.
