  1. Show that the volume, \(V \mathrm {~cm} ^ { 3 }\), of the cone is given by \(V = \frac { 1 } { 3 } \pi \left( 225 h - h ^ { 3 } \right)\).
    [0pt] [The volume of a cone of radius \(r\) and vertical height \(h\) is \(\frac { 1 } { 3 } \pi r ^ { 2 } h\).]
  2. Given that \(h\) can vary, find the value of \(h\) for which \(V\) has a stationary value. Determine, showing all necessary working, the nature of this stationary value.
