A hollow sphere of internal and external diameters 4 cm and 8 cm respectively is melted into a cone of base diameter 8 cm. Calculate the height of the cone. |

Answer» Given, internal radius of hollow sphere, r = (\(\frac{4}2\)) = 2 cm External radius = \(\frac{8}2\) = 4 cm Volume of hollow sphere = \(\frac{4}{3}π(R^3 - r^3)\) = \(\frac{4}{3}π(4^3 - 2^3)\) --------(i) Given, diameter of the cone = 8 cm ∴ Radius of the cone = 4 cm Let height of the cone be h Volume of the cone = \(\frac{1}{3}πr^2h{}\) = \(\frac{1}{3}π4^2h{}\)--------(ii) Since hollow sphere is melted into a cone so their volumes are equal, \(\frac{4}{3}\) π × (43 – 23) = \(\frac{1}{3}\) π × 42 × h 4 x (64 – 8) = 16 x h 4 x 56 = 16 x h h = \(\frac{4 \times 56}{16}\) ∴ h = 14 cm Let the height of the cone be h cm. |
