Question - 1 : -

Find the volume of a sphere whose radius is

(i) 7 cm (ii) 0.63 m

(Assume π =22/7)

Answer - 1 : -

(i) Radius of sphere,r = 7 cm

Using, Volume ofsphere = (4/3) πr3

= (4/3)×(22/7)×73

= 4312/3

Hence, volume of thesphere is 4312/3 cm3


(ii) Radius of sphere,r = 0.63 m

Using, volume ofsphere = (4/3) πr3

= (4/3)×(22/7)×0.633

= 1.0478

Hence, volume of thesphere is 1.05 m(approx).

Question - 2 : -

Find the amount of water displaced by a solid spherical ball of diameter

(i) 28 cm (ii) 0.21 m

(Assume π =22/7)

Answer - 2 : -

(i) Diameter = 28 cm

Radius, r = 28/2 cm =14cm

Volume of the solidspherical ball = (4/3) πr3

Volume of the ball =(4/3)×(22/7)×14= 34496/3

Hence, volume of theball is 34496/3 cm3


(ii) Diameter = 0.21 m

Radius of the ball=0.21/2 m= 0.105 m

Volume of the ball =(4/3 )πr3

Volume of the ball =(4/3)× (22/7)×0.1053 m3

Hence, volume of theball = 0.004851 m3

Question - 3 : -

The diameter of a metallic ball is 4.2cm. What is the mass of the ball,if the density of the metal is 8.9 g per cm3? (Assume π=22/7)

Answer - 3 : -

Given,

Diameter of a metallicball = 4.2 cm

Radius(r) of themetallic ball, r = 4.2/2 cm = 2.1 cm

Volume formula = 4/3πr3

Volume of the metallicball = (4/3)×(22/7)×2.1 cm3

Volume of the metallicball = 38.808 cm3

Now, usingrelationship between, density, mass and volume,

Density = Mass/Volume

Mass = Density ×volume

= (8.9×38.808) g

= 345.3912 g

Mass of the ball is 345.39g (approx).

Question - 4 : -

The diameter of the moon is approximately one-fourth of the diameter ofthe earth. What fraction of the volume of the earth is the volume of the moon?

Answer - 4 : -

Let the diameter ofearth be “d”. Therefore, the radius of earth will be will be d/2

Diameter of moon willbe d/4 and the radius of moon will be d/8

Find the volume of themoon :

Volume of the moon =(4/3) πr= (4/3) π (d/8)3 = 4/3π(d3/512)

Find the volume of theearth :

Volume of the earth =(4/3) πr3= (4/3) π (d/2)3 = 4/3π(d3/8)

Fraction of the volumeof the earth is the volume of the moon

Answer: Volume of moonis of the 1/64 volume of earth.

Question - 5 : -

How many litres of milk can a hemispherical bowl of diameter 10.5cm hold?(Assume π = 22/7)

Answer - 5 : -

Diameter ofhemispherical bowl = 10.5 cm

Radius ofhemispherical bowl, r = 10.5/2 cm = 5.25 cm

Formula for volume ofthe hemispherical bowl = (2/3) πr3

Volume of thehemispherical bowl = (2/3)×(22/7)×5.253 = 303.1875

Volume of thehemispherical bowl is 303.1875 cm3

Capacity of the bowl =(303.1875)/1000 L = 0.303 litres(approx.)

Therefore,hemispherical bowl can hold 0.303 litres of milk.

Question - 6 : - A hemi spherical tank is made up of an ironsheet 1cm thick. If the inner radius is 1 m, then find the volume of the ironused to make the tank. (Assume π = 22/7)

Answer - 6 : -

Inner Radius of thetank, (r ) = 1m

Outer Radius (R ) =1.01m

Volume of the ironused in the tank = (2/3) π(R3– r3)

Put values,

Volume of the ironused in the hemispherical tank = (2/3)×(22/7)×(1.013– 13)= 0.06348

So, volume of the ironused in the hemispherical tank is 0.06348 m3.

Question - 7 : -

Find the volume of a sphere whose surface area is 154 cm2.(Assume π = 22/7)

Answer - 7 : -

Let r be the radius ofa sphere.

Surface area of sphere= 4πr2

4πr=154 cm2 (given)

r2 =(154×7)/(4 ×22)

r = 7/2

Radius is 7/2 cm

Now,

Volume of the sphere =(4/3) πr3

Question - 8 : -

A dome of a building is in the form of a hemi sphere. From inside, it waswhite-washed at the cost of Rs. 4989.60. If the cost of white-washing isRs20per square meter, find the

(i) inside surface area of the dome (ii) volume of the air inside thedome

(Assume π = 22/7)

Answer - 8 : -

(i) Cost ofwhite-washing the dome from inside = Rs 4989.60

Cost of white-washing1m2 area = Rs 20

CSA of the inner sideof dome = 498.96/2 m2  = 249.48 m2

(ii) Let the innerradius of the hemispherical dome be r.

CSA of inner side ofdome = 249.48 m2 (from (i))

Formula to find CSA ofa hemi sphere = 2πr2

2πr2 =249.48

2×(22/7)×r=249.48

r=(249.48×7)/(2×22)

r=39.69

r = 6.3

So, radius is 6.3 m

Volume of air insidethe dome = Volume of hemispherical dome

Using formula, volumeof the hemisphere = 2/3 πr3

=(2/3)×(22/7)×6.3×6.3×6.3

= 523.908

= 523.9(approx.)

Volume of airinside the dome is 523.9 m3.

Question - 9 : -

Twenty-seven solid iron spheres, each of radius r and surface area S aremelted to form a sphere with surface area S’. Find the

(i) radius r’ of the new sphere,

(ii) ratio of Sand S’.

Answer - 9 : -

Volume of the solidsphere = (4/3)πr3

Volume of twenty sevensolid sphere = 27×(4/3)πr3 = 36 π r3

(i) New solid ironsphere radius = r’

Volume of this newsphere = (4/3)π(r’)3

(4/3)π(r’)=36 π r3

(r’)=27r3

r’= 3r

Radius of new spherewill be 3r (thrice the radius of original sphere)

(ii) Surface area ofiron sphere of radius r, S =4πr2

Surface area of ironsphere of radius r’= 4π (r’)2

Now

S/S’ = (4πr2)/(4π (r’)2)

S/S’ = r2/(3r’)2 =1/9

The ratio of S and S’ is 1:9.

Question - 10 : -

A capsule of medicine is in the shape of a sphere of diameter 3.5mm. Howmuch medicine (in mm3) is needed to fill this capsule? (Assume π =22/7)

Answer - 10 : -

Diameter of capsule =3.5 mm

Radius of capsule, sayr = diameter/ 2 = (3.5/2) mm = 1.75mm

Volume of sphericalcapsule = 4/3 πr3

Volume of sphericalcapsule = (4/3)×(22/7)×(1.75)3 = 22.458

Answer: The volume ofthe spherical capsule is 22.46 mm3.
