Question - 1 : -

Find the volume of a sphere whose radius is

(i) 7 cm (ii) 0.63 m

(Assume ╧А =22/7)

Answer - 1 : -

(i) Radius of sphere,r = 7 cm

Using, Volume ofsphere = (4/3) ╧Аr3

= (4/3)├Ч(22/7)├Ч73

= 4312/3

Hence, volume of thesphere is 4312/3 cm3


(ii) Radius of sphere,r = 0.63 m

Using, volume ofsphere = (4/3) ╧Аr3

= (4/3)├Ч(22/7)├Ч0.633

= 1.0478

Hence, volume of thesphere is 1.05 m3┬а(approx).

Question - 2 : -

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

(i) 28 cm (ii) 0.21 m

(Assume ╧А =22/7)

Answer - 2 : -

(i) Diameter = 28 cm

Radius, r = 28/2 cm =14cm

Volume of the solidspherical ball = (4/3) ╧Аr3

Volume of the ball =(4/3)├Ч(22/7)├Ч143┬а= 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 )╧Аr3

Volume of the ball =(4/3)├Ч (22/7)├Ч0.1053┬аm3

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 ╧А=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 = 4/3╧Аr3

Volume of the metallicball = (4/3)├Ч(22/7)├Ч2.1 cm3

Volume of the metallicball = 38.808 cm3

Now, usingrelationship between, density, mass and volume,

Density = Mass/Volume

Mass = Density ├Чvolume

= (8.9├Ч38.808) 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 тАЬdтАЭ. 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) ╧Аr3┬а= (4/3) ╧А (d/8)3┬а= 4/3╧А(d3/512)

Find the volume of theearth :

Volume of the earth =(4/3) ╧Аr3= (4/3) ╧А (d/2)3┬а= 4/3╧А(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 ╧А = 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) ╧Аr3

Volume of thehemispherical bowl = (2/3)├Ч(22/7)├Ч5.253┬а= 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 ╧А = 22/7)

Answer - 6 : -

Inner Radius of thetank, (r ) = 1m

Outer Radius (R ) =1.01m

Volume of the ironused in the tank = (2/3) ╧А(R3тАУ r3)

Put values,

Volume of the ironused in the hemispherical tank = (2/3)├Ч(22/7)├Ч(1.013тАУ 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 ╧А = 22/7)

Answer - 7 : -

Let r be the radius ofa sphere.

Surface area of sphere= 4╧Аr2

4╧Аr2┬а=154 cm2┬а(given)

r2┬а=(154├Ч7)/(4 ├Ч22)

r = 7/2

Radius is 7/2 cm

Now,

Volume of the sphere =(4/3) ╧Аr3

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 ╧А = 22/7)

Answer - 8 : -

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

Cost of white-washing1m2┬аarea = Rs 20

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

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

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

Formula to find CSA ofa hemi sphere = 2╧Аr2

2╧Аr2┬а=249.48

2├Ч(22/7)├Чr2┬а=249.48

r2┬а=(249.48├Ч7)/(2├Ч22)

r2┬а=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 ╧Аr3

=(2/3)├Ч(22/7)├Ч6.3├Ч6.3├Ч6.3

= 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 SтАЩ. Find the

(i) radius rтАЩ of the new sphere,

(ii) ratio of Sand SтАЩ.

Answer - 9 : -

Volume of the solidsphere = (4/3)╧Аr3

Volume of twenty sevensolid sphere = 27├Ч(4/3)╧Аr3┬а= 36 ╧А r3

(i) New solid ironsphere radius = rтАЩ

Volume of this newsphere = (4/3)╧А(rтАЩ)3

(4/3)╧А(rтАЩ)3┬а=36 ╧А r3

(rтАЩ)3┬а=27r3

rтАЩ= 3r

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

(ii) Surface area ofiron sphere of radius r, S =4╧Аr2

Surface area of ironsphere of radius rтАЩ= 4╧А (rтАЩ)2

Now

S/SтАЩ = (4╧Аr2)/(4╧А (rтАЩ)2)

S/SтАЩ = r2/(3rтАЩ)2┬а=1/9

The ratio of S and SтАЩ 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 ╧А =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 ╧Аr3

Volume of sphericalcapsule = (4/3)├Ч(22/7)├Ч(1.75)3┬а= 22.458

Answer: The volume ofthe spherical capsule is 22.46 mm3.
