A pot conical shaped , the radius and heightof which is 6 cm and 8 cmrespectively , is fulfilled with water of this pot in sucha waythat it just touches the two sides of the pot . So , how many part of the waterof the pot will over flow ?

Answer»

Solution :In the figure beside ,
AD = 6 cm and DC = 8 cm
` :. AC = SQRT(CD^(2)+AD^(2))`
` = sqrt(8^(2) + 6^(2)) ` cm
` = sqrt(64 + 36)` cm
10 cm
Now , in the right - angled trinagles `Delta ACD and Delta EOC` , we get
` ANGLE ACD = angle ECO`
Let the radius of the sphere be x cm
` :.` as per figure , AD = AE = 6 cm
` :.EC = (AC- AE) = (10-6)` cm = 4 cm
Again , ` Delta ADS ~ Delta EOC , :. (DC)/(AD) = (EC)/(EO)`
` rArr 8/6 = 4/3 rArr x = (4xx 6)/8 = 3`
` :.` the radius of the sphereis 3 cm
So , the volume of the sphere` = 4/3pi xx 3^(3) ` cc = 36 ` pi` cc
Again, the volume of the CONICAL pot ` = 1/3 xx pi xx 6^(2) xx 8 ` cc = ` 96 pi ` cc
So , the required part ` = (36pi)/(96pi) = 3/8`
Hence `3/8` part of the WATER of the pot will overflow
