\includegraphics[max width=\textwidth, alt={}, center]{6ef55dbd-f18d-4264-b80c-d181473ca7b3-3_531_786_246_523} The diagram shows an open-topped cylindrical container made from cardboard. The cylinder is of height \(h \mathrm {~cm}\) and base radius \(r \mathrm {~cm}\). Given that the area of card used to make the container is \(192 \pi \mathrm {~cm} ^ { 2 }\),
  1. show that the capacity of the container, \(\mathrm { V } \mathrm { cm } ^ { 3 }\), is given by $$V = 96 \pi r - \frac { 1 } { 2 } \pi r ^ { 3 } .$$
  2. Find the value of \(r\) for which \(V\) is stationary.
  3. Find the corresponding value of \(V\) in terms of \(\pi\).
  4. Determine whether this is a maximum or a minimum value of \(V\).
