10 circular plates each of thickness 3 cm, each are placed one above the other and a hemisphere of radius 6 cm is placed on the top just to cover the cylindrical solid. What is the volume of the solid so formed?
Correct Answer: Description for Correct answer:
If 10 Circular plates each of thickness 3 cm, each are placed one above the other, then it forms a cylinder with height \( \Large \left(3 \times 10 = 30 cm\right) \) and a hemisphere of radius 6 cm is placed on the top just to cover the cylinder that means its radius is 6 cm also. Therefore, Radius of hemisphere (R) = 6 cm
Radius of cylinder (r) = 6 cm
and height of cylinder (h) = 30 cm
Therefore, Volume of the solid = Volume of cylinder + Volume of hemisphere
= \( \Large \pi r^{2}h + \frac{2}{3} \pi R^{3} \)
= \( \Large \pi \left(6\right)^{2} \times 30 + \frac{2}{3} \pi \left(6\right)^{3} \)
= \( \Large \pi \times 36 \times 30 + \frac{2}{3} \pi \times 216 \)
= \( \Large 1080 \pi + 2 \pi \times 72 \)
= \( \Large 1080 \pi + 144 \pi \)
= \( \Large 1224 \pi cm^{3} \)
which is the required volume of solid.
