A mathematics teacher uses certain amount of terracotta clay to form different shaped solids. First, she turned it into a sphere of radius 7 cm and then she made a right circular cone with base radius 14 cm. Find the height of the cone so formed. If the same clay is turned to make a right circular cylinder of height 37 cm, then find the radius of the cylinder so formed. Also, compare the total surface areas of sphere and cylinder so formed.
Answer
First, a sphere of radius (r) 7 cm is formed.
Volume of sphere = 34πr3
=34×722×73=34×22×72=34312 cm3.
Next, a right circular cone with radius (r1) 14 cm is formed. Let height of cone be h cm.
Since same amount of clay is used to make cone and sphere.
∴ Volume of cone = Volume of sphere
⇒31πr12h=34312⇒πr12h=4312⇒722×142×h=4312⇒22×2×14×h=4312⇒h=22×2×144312⇒h=6164312=7 cm.
Given,
The same clay is used to make a right circular cylinder of height (h1) 37 cm. Let its radius be r2.
Since same amount of clay is used to make cylinder and sphere.
∴ Volume of cylinder = Volume of sphere
⇒πr22h1=34312⇒722×r22×37=34312⇒22×r22=4312⇒r22=224312⇒r22=196⇒r2=196=14 cm.
