    Volume
In summary, the conversation is discussing the construction of a buoy using two equal circular cones. The problem at hand is to determine the radius of the base to maximize the volume of the buoy. The purpose of the buoy is to serve as a marker on the water, preventing people from going too far and possibly drowning. The conversation does not provide a diagram, but it is clear that the two pieces are circular and the aim is to build a buoy with maximum volume.

From two places equal of radio circular R It wants to build a buoy consists of two equal bass common cones

Determine the radius of Ia base when the volume of the buoy is maximum.

r=(sqrt of 6) R/3

Re: Max and min

I must confess I have little idea what you are asking. I am assuming a buoy is to be constructed by joining two cones at their bases, but other than that I have no idea what is going on.

well, what you said is the main idea
a buoy is something put ond the water on beaches as a limit so that people can not go further if they do not do that they can die

Yes, I understand that a buoy is used as a marker on the water, but it is the problem I don't understand. Can you provide a diagram?

Re: Max and min

from two pieces that are the same i mean equal of radius R , from these i want to built the buoy
there is no graph in my book
ahhh. the pieces are circular both
