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.
Given:
A cylinder whose height is two-thirds of its diameter has the same volume as a sphere of radius $4\ cm$.
To do:
We have to find the height of water in the cylinder.
Solution:
Radius of the hemispherical bowl $(r) = 6\ cm$
Therefore,
Volume of water in the bowl $=\frac{2}{3} \pi r^{3}$
$=\frac{2}{3} \pi(6)^{3}$
$=\frac{2}{3} \times 216 \pi$
$=144 \pi \mathrm{cm}^{3}$
Volume of water in the cylinder $=144 \pi \mathrm{cm}^{3}$
Radius of the cylinder $(R)=4 \mathrm{~cm}$
Therefore,
Height of the cylinder $=\frac{\text { Volume }}{\pi r^{2}}$
$=\frac{144 \pi}{\pi \times 4 \times 4}$
$=9 \mathrm{~cm}$
Hence, the height of water in the cylinder is $9 \mathrm{~cm}$.
