Solution:
2. Find the amount of water displaced by a solid spherical ball of diameter
(i) 28 cm (ii) 0.21 m
Solution:
3. The diameter of a metallic ball is 4.2 cm. What is the mass of the ball, if the density of the metal is 8.9 g per cm3 ?
Solution:
4. 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?
Solution:
Let diameter of earth = x
5. How many litres of milk can a hemispherical bowl of diameter 10.5 cm hold?
Solution:
Diameter = 10.5 , radius = 5.25
6. A hemispherical tank is made up of an iron sheet 1 cm thick. If the inner radius is 1 m, then find the volume of the iron used to make the tank.
Solution:
Radius = 1.01 m , radius = 1 m
7. Find the volume of a sphere whose surface area is 154 cm2.
Solution:
Surface area = 154 cm2
8. A dome of a building is in the form of a hemisphere. From inside, it was white-washed at the cost of 498.96. If the cost of white-washing is 2.00 per square metre, find the
(i) inside surface area of the dome, (ii) volume of the air inside the dome.
Solution:
9. Twenty seven solid iron spheres, each of radius r and surface area S are melted to form a sphere with surface area S2. Find the
(i) radius r2 of the new sphere, (ii) ratio of S and S2.
Solution:
R = r
10. A capsule of medicine is in the shape of a sphere of diameter 3.5 mm. How much medicine (in mm3) is needed to fill this capsule?
Solution :
Diameter = 3.5 mm , r = 1.75 mm
