A solid is in the form of a right circular cylinder with a hemisphere at one end and a cone at the other end. Their common diameter is 3.5 cm and the height of the cylindrical and conical portions are 10 cm and 6 cm respectively. Find the volume of the solid. (Take π = 3.14)
Solution:
Since the given solid is a combination of a cone, cylinder, and hemisphere, we must sum the volumes of the cone, cylinder, and hemisphere to determine its volume.
Given height of the cylinder, H = 10 cm
Height of the cone, h = 6 cm
Common diameter = 3.5 cm
Common radius, r = 3.5/2 = 1.75 cm
Volume of the solid = Volume of the cone + Volume of the cylinder + Volume of the hemisphere
= (1/3)π r2h +π r2H + (2/3) π r3
= π r2((h/3) + H + (2r/3))
= 3.14×1.752×((6/3)+10+(2×1.75)/3)
= 3.14×3.0625×(2+10+1.167)
= 3.14×3.0625×13.167
= 9.61625×13.167
= 126.617 cm3
= 126.62 cm3
Hence the volume of the solid is 126.62 cm3.
