Will attempt this later. Idea is, must draw a line from the centre of the sphere to a corner of the cylinder end.

(½h)² + r² = 5²
h² + 4r² = 100
h = 2√(25 - r²) *

V = πr² x h = πr² x 2√(25 - r²)
= 2πr²√(25 - r²)
*corrected for, thanks to Eric


V = 2πr²√(25 - r²)
dV/dr = 4πr√(25-r²) + πr²/√(25-r²) x (-2r)

dV/dr
= 4πr√(25 - r²) - 2πr³/√(25 - r²)


set dV/dr = 0,
4πr√(25 - r²) = 2πr³/√(25 - r²)
2r(25 - r²) = r³
3r³ - 50r = 0
r = 0 (rejected) or r² = 50/3
r = 5√(2/3) cm
or -5√(2/3) (rejected)

max V
= 2π x 50/3 x √(25 - 50/3)
= 302.3 cm³

Snell is almost correct, except that

h2 + 4r2 = 100

translates to

h2 = 100 - 4r2

and

h = sqrt (100 - 4r2)
= sqrt (4) * sqrt (25 - r2)
= 2 * sqrt (25 - r2)

and not 2 * sqrt * (25 - 4r2).

To prove that the value is indeed a maximum, we can use the first derivative test, which I will not be doing for this question.
