32. The Largest Cylinder

A hemisphere of radius RR contains a right circular cylinder of radius rr and height hh, whose base lies on the flat face of the hemisphere.

Using integration, derive an expression for the volume of the region inside the hemisphere but outside the cylinder in terms of rr, hh, and RR.

Hence, determine the values of rr and hh for which the volume of the cylinder is maximized.
