A hollow circular cylinder, open at one end, is constructed of thin sheet metal. The total external surface area of the cylinder is \(192\pi \text{ cm}^2\). The cylinder has a radius of \(r\) cm and a height of \(h\) cm.

(i) Express \(h\) in terms of \(r\) and show that the volume, \(V \text{ cm}^3\), of the cylinder is given by \(V = \frac{1}{2} \pi (192r - r^3)\).

Given that \(r\) can vary,

(ii) find the value of \(r\) for which \(V\) has a stationary value,

(iii) find this stationary value and determine whether it is a maximum or a minimum.
