Solution:
It is given that,
Volume of water in the hemispherical bowl = Volume of water in the cylinder
Inner radius of the bowl (r) = 3.5cm
Inner radius of cylinder (R) = 7cm
Volume of water in the hemispherical bowl = Volume of water in the cylinder
2/3 π(r)3 = π(R)2 h
2/3 π(3.5)3 = π(7)2 h
2/3×3.5×3.5×3.5 = 7×7×7×h
(2 × 3.5 × 3.5 × 3.5)/(3 × 7 × 7 × 7) = h
(2 × 0.5 × 0.5 × 0.5)/3 = h
0.25/3=h
0.0833…. cm = h
Hence, the height to which water rises in the cylinder is 0.0833cm.
Question 12: A cylinder whose height is two thirds of its diameter, has the same volume as a sphere of radius 4 cm. Calculate the radius of the base of the cylinder.
Solution:

Let the radius of cylinder be r
Height of the cylinder = 2/3 diameter
h = 2/3 × (2r)
h = 4r/3
Volume of the cylinder = Volume of the sphere
πr2h = 4/3πR3
π × r2 × (4r/3) = 4/3 π (4)3
r2 × (r) = (4)3
r3 = (4)3
r3 = 4×4×4
r = 4
Hence, the radius of the base of the cylinder is 4 cm.
Question 13: A vessel in the form of a hemispherical bowl is full of water. The contents are emptied into a cylinder. The internal radii of the bowl and cylinder are respectively 6 cm and 4 cm. Find the height of water in the cylinder.
Solution:
It is given that,
Radius of a bowl (r1) = 6cm
Radius of a cylinder (r2) = 4cm
Let
Height of a cylinder = h
Volume of water in hemispherical bowl = Volume of cylinder
2/3πR3 = πr2 h
2/3 × π × (6)3 = π × (4)2 × h
2 × 2 × 6 × 6 = 4 × 4 × 4 × h
(2 × 2 × 6 × 6)/(4 × 4 × 4) = h
3 × 3 = h
h = 9
Hence, the height of water in the cylinder 9cm.
Question 14: A cylindrical tub of radius 16 cm contains water to a depth of 30 cm. A spherical iron ball is dropped into the tub and thus level of water is raised by 9 cm. What is the radius of the ball?
Solution:

Radius of the cylinder (R) = 16cm
Let us assumed that,
Radius of the iron ball = r
Height = 9 cm
Volume of iron ball = Volume of water raised in the hub
4/3πr3 = πR2h
4/3× π × r3 = π × (16)2 × 9
4/3 × r3 = 16 × 16 × 9
r3 = (16 × 16 × 9 × 3)/4
r3 = 16 × 4 × 9 × 3
r3 = 1728
r = 12
Hence, the radius of the ball is 12cm.
