Suppose that the radii are r and 2r.
Now, ratio of the surface areas  = 4πr24π2r2=r24r2=14
                                                     = 1:4

∴ The ratio of their surface areas is 1 : 4.

Question 17:

The surface areas of two spheres are in the ratio 1 : 4. Find the ratio of their volumes.

Answer 17:

Suppose that the radii of the spheres are r and R.
We have:
4πr24πR2=14rR=14=12

Now, ratio of the volumes = 43πr343πR3=rR3=123 =18

∴ The ratio of the volumes of the spheres is 1 : 8.

Question 18:

A cylindrical tub of radius 12 cm contains water to a depth of 20 cm. A spherical iron ball is dropped into the tub and thus the level of water is raised by 6.75 cm. What is the radius of the ball?

Answer 18:

Suppose that the radius of the ball is r cm.
Radius of the cylindrical tub =12 cm
Depth of the tub= 20 cm
Now, volume of the ball = volume of water raised in the cylinder
43πr3=π×122×6.75r3=144×6.75×34=36×6.5×3=729r = 9 cm

∴ The radius of the ball is 9 cm.

Question 19:

A cylindrical bucket with base radius 15 cm is filled with water up to a height of 20 cm. A heavy iron spherical ball of radius 9 cm is dropped into the bucket to submerge completely in the water. Find the increase in the level of water.

Answer 19:

Let h cm be the increase in the level of water.
Radius of the cylindrical bucket = 15 cm
Height up to which water is being filled = 20 cm
Radius of the spherical ball = 9 cm
Now, volume of the sphere = increased in volume of the cylinder
43π×93=π×152×hh=4×7293×15×15=4×2725=4.32 cm

∴ The increase in the level of water is 4.32 cm.

A hollow spherical shell is made of a metal of density 4.5 g per cm3. If its internal and external radii are 8 cm and 9 cm respectively, find the weight of the shell.

Answer 21:

Internal radius of the hollow spherical shell, r= 8 cm
External radius of the hollow spherical shell, R= 9 cm

Volume of the shell =  43πR3-r3 
                            =43π93-83=43×227×729-512=4×22×21721=88×313=27283cm3

Weight of the shell = volume of the shell × density per cubic cm
                             = 27283×4.54092 g = 4.092 kg

∴ Weight of the shell = 4.092 kg

Question 22:

A hemisphere of lead of radius 9 cm is cast into a right circular cone of height 72 cm. Find the radius of the base of the cone.

Answer 22:

Radius of the hemisphere = 9 cm
Height of the right circular cone = 72 cm
Suppose that the radius of the base of the cone is r cm.
Volume of the hemisphere = volume of the cone

23π×93=13π×r2×72r2=2×9×9×972=814r =92=4.5 cm

∴ The radius of the base of the cone is 4.5 cm.

Question 23:

A hemispherical bowl of internal radius 9 cm contains a liquid. This liquid is to be filled into cylindrical shaped small bottles of diameter 3 cm and height 4 cm. How many bottles are required to empty the bowl?

Answer 23:

Internal radius of the hemispherical bowl = 9 cm
Radius of a cylindrical shaped bottle = 1.5 cm
Height of a bottle = 4 cm

Number of bottles required to empty the bowl  = volume of the hemispherical bowlvolume of a cylindrical shaped bottle
                                                                        =23π×93π×1.52×4=2×9×9×93×1.5×1.5×4=54

∴ 54 bottles are required to empty the bowl.

Question 24:

A hemispherical bowl is made of steel 0.5 cm thick. The inside radius of the bowl is 4 cm. Find the volume of steel used in making the bowl.

Answer 24:

Internal radius of the hemispherical bowl = 4 cm
Thickness of a the bowl = 0.5 cm
Now, external radius of the bowl = (4 + 0.5 ) cm = 4.5 cm

Now, volume of steel used in making the bowl =  volume of the shell
                                                                       =23π4.53-43 =23×227×91.125-64=23×227×27.125= 56.83 cm3

∴ 56.83 cm3 of steel is used in making the bowl .

Question 25:

Note Take π=227, unless stated otherwise.
A hemispherical bowl is made of steel, 0.25 cm thick. The inner radius of the bowl is 5 cm. Find the outer curved surface area of the bowl.

Answer 25:


Inner radius of the bowl, r = 5 cm

Let the outer radius of the bowl be R cm.

Thickness of the bowl = 0.25 cm         (Given)

∴ R − r = 0.25 cm

⇒ R = 0.25 + r = 0.25 + 5 = 5.25 cm

∴ Outer curved surface area of the bowl = 2πr2=2×227×5.252 = 173.25 cm2

Thus, the outer curved surface area of the bowl is 173.25 cm2.

Question 26:

Note Take π=227, unless stated otherwise.
A hemispherical bowl made of brass has inner diameter 10.5 cm. Find the cost of tin-plating it on the inside at the rate of ₹ 32 per 100 cm2.

Answer 26:

Inner radius of the bowl, r = 10.52 = 5.25 cm

∴ Inner curved surface area of the bowl = 2πr2=2×227×5.252 = 173.25 cm2

Rate of tin-plating = ₹ 32 per 100 cm2

∴ Cost of tin-plating the bowl on the inside

= Inner curved surface area of the bowl × Rate of tin-plating

=173.25×32100

= ₹ 55.44

Thus, the cost of tin-plating the bowl on the inside is ₹ 55.44.

Question 27:

Note Take π=227, unless stated otherwise.
The diameter of the moon is approximately one fourth of the diameter of the earth. What fraction of the volume of the earth is the volume of the moon?

Let the radius of the moon and earth be r units and R units, respectively.

∴ 2r14 × 2R        (Given)

⇒ r=R4            .....(1)

Volume of the moonVolume of the earth=43πr343πR3=R43R3=164             [Using (1)]

Thus, the volume of the moon is 164 of the volume of the earth.

Question 28:

Note Take π=227, unless stated otherwise.
Volume and surface area of a solid hemisphere are numerically equal. What is the diameter of the hemisphere?

Answer 28:


Let the radius of the solid hemisphere be r units.

Numerical value of surface area of the solid hemisphere = 3πr2

Numercial value of volume of the solid hemisphere = 23πr3

It is given that the volume and surface area of the solid hemisphere are numerically equal.

23πr3=3πr22r=9 units
