17 A solid, S, is made from a hemisphere and a cylinder.

The centre of the circular face of the hemisphere and the centre of the top face of the cylinder are at the same point.

Solid made of a hemisphere on top of a cylinder; the radius is x cm and the height of the cylinder is (20 - 4x) cm

Diagram NOT accurately drawn

The radius of the cylinder and the radius of the hemisphere are both \(x\) cm.
The height of the cylinder is \((20 - 4x)\) cm.

The volume of S is \(V\) cm3 where \(V = \dfrac{1}{3}\pi y\)

Find the maximum value of \(y\).
Show clear algebraic working.
