A hemispherical bowl is packed in a cubical box. The bowl just fits in the box. Inner radius of the bowl is 10 cm. Outer radius of the bowl is 10.5 cm.

A hemispherical bowl is packed in a cubical box. The bowl just fits in the box. Inner radius of the bowl is 10 cm. Outer radius of the bowl is 10.5 cm. 

Based on the above, answer the following questions.

a) Find the dimensions of the cuboidal box.
b) Find the total outer surf ace area of the box.
c) Find the difference between the capacity of the bowl and the volume of the box. (use $\pi = 3.14$)
OR
c) The inner surface of the bowl and the thickness is to be painted. Find the area to be painted.

This Question has 1 answers.

Given:
- Inner radius of the hemispherical bowl, $r = 10$ cm
- Outer radius of the hemispherical bowl, $R = 10.5$ cm
- The bowl just fits in the cubical box, so its diameter equals the side of the cube

(a) Dimensions of the cubical box:
The side length of the cube is equal to the diameter of the bowl.
$ \text{Side of the cube} = 2R = 2 \times 10.5 $
$= 21 $ cm
Thus, the dimensions of the cubical box are $21 \times 21 \times 21$ cm.

(b) Total outer surface area of the box:
The surface area of a cube is given by
$ \text{Surface Area} = 6s^2 $
Substituting $s = 21$ cm,
$ \text{Surface Area} = 6 \times 21^2 $
$= 6 \times 441 $
$= 2646 $ cm²

(c) Difference between the capacity of the bowl and the volume of the box:
Capacity of the bowl (inner volume) is given by
$ V_{\text{bowl}} = \frac{2}{3} \pi r^3 $
Substituting $r = 10$ cm and $\pi = 3.14$,
$ V_{\text{bowl}} = \frac{2}{3} \times 3.14 \times 10^3 $
$ = \frac{2}{3} \times 3.14 \times 1000 $
$ = \frac{6280}{3} = 2093.33 $ cm³

Volume of the cube is given by
$ V_{\text{cube}} = s^3 = 21^3 = 9261 $ cm³

Difference between the volumes:
$ \text{Difference} = V_{\text{cube}} - V_{\text{bowl}} $
$ = 9261 - 2093.33 = 7167.67 $ cm³

OR

(c) The area to be painted:
The inner surface of the bowl (inner curved surface area) is given by
$ A_{\text{inner}} = 2\pi r^2 $
Substituting $r = 10$ cm and $\pi = 3.14$,
$ A_{\text{inner}} = 2 \times 3.14 \times 10^2 $
$ = 2 \times 3.14 \times 100 = 628 $ cm²

The area of the thickness (outer curved surface - inner curved surface) is given by
$ A_{\text{thickness}} = 2\pi R^2 - 2\pi r^2 $
$ = 2\pi (R^2 - r^2) $
Substituting $R = 10.5$ cm and $r = 10$ cm,
$ A_{\text{thickness}} = 2 \times 3.14 \times (10.5^2 - 10^2) $
$ = 2 \times 3.14 \times (110.25 - 100) $
$ = 2 \times 3.14 \times 10.25 $
$ = 2 \times 32.185 = 64.37 $ cm²

Total area to be painted:
$ A_{\text{total}} = A_{\text{inner}} + A_{\text{thickness}} $
$ = 628 + 64.37 = 692.37 $ cm²
