SPHERE

VOLUME
Introduction
A sphere is a geometrical object in 3
dimensional space that is the surface of
a ball.
Axis
For a particular circle of a sphere, the axis is the diameter
of the sphere perpendicular to the plane of the circle.
Examples of a Sphere

Earth
Volume of Sphere
The volume of a sphere is 4/3 π r³
Volume of a Sphere

4/3 π r³
HEMISPHERE
When a sphere is cut through the middle in 2 equal parts, it is called a Hemisphere

The volume of a hemisphere


is equal to half of the
volume of the sphere out of
which it was cut out.

Volume = ½ * 4/3 π r³
= 2/3 π r³
EXERCISE 13.8
1. Find the volume of a sphere whose radius is
(i) 7 cm (ii) 0.63 m
2. Find the amount of water displaced by a
solid spherical ball of diameter
(i) 28 cm (ii) 0.21 m
7. Find the volume of a sphere whose surface area
is 154 cm2.

(to be discussed in class and give as H.W.)


3. The diameter of a metallic ball is 4.2cm. What is
the mass of the ball, if the density of the metal is 8.9
g per cm3?
Solution:
Diameter of a metallic ball = 4.2 cm
Radius(r) of the metallic ball, r = 4.2/2 cm = 2.1 cm
Volume = 4/3 πr3 = 4(/3)×(22/7)×2.1 cm3
Volume of the metallic ball = 38.808 cm3
Density = Mass/Volume
Mass = Density × volume
= (8.9×38.808) g
= 345.3912 g
4. The diameter of the moon is approximately one-
fourth the diameter of the earth. What fraction of the
volume of earth is the volume of moon?
Solution:
Let diameter of earth be d. So, radius earth will be d/2 .
And diameter of earth will be d/4 So, radius of moon will
be d/8

Volume of moon =

Volume of earth =
Thus the volume of moon is 1 the volume of the
Earth. 64
5. How many litres of milk can a hemispherical
bowl of diameter 10.5 cm hold?
Solution:
Radius of hemispherical bowl, r = 10.5/2 = 5.25 cm
Volume of the hemispherical bowl = (2/3) πr3
= (2/3)×(22/7)×5.253 = 303.1875 cm3
Capacity in litres = (303.1875)/1000 = 0.303 litres
Therefore, hemispherical bowl can hold 0.303 litres of
milk.
6. A hemi spherical tank is made up of an iron
sheet 1cm thick. If the inner radius is 1 m,
then find the volume of the iron used to make
the tank.
Solution:
Inner Radius of the tank, (r ) = 1m
Outer Radius (R ) = 1.01m
Volume of the iron used in the tank = (2/3) π(R3–
r 3)
= (2/3)×(22/7)×(1.013– 13) = 0.06348
So, volume of the iron used in the hemispherical
tank is 0.06348 m3.
8. A dome of a building is in the form of a hemi
sphere. From inside, it was white-washed at the
cost of Rs. 4989.60. If the cost of white-washing
is Rs20 per square meter, find the
(i) inside surface area of the dome
(ii) volume of the air inside the dome
Solution:
(i) Cost of white-washing the dome from inside = Rs
4989.60
Cost of white-washing 1m2 area = Rs 20
CSA of the inner side of dome = 498.96/2 m2 =
249.48 m2
(ii) Let the inner radius of the hemispherical dome be r.
CSA of inner side of dome = 249.48 m2
CSA of a hemi sphere = 2πr2
2πr2 = 249.48
2×(22/7)×r2 = 249.48
r2 = (249.48×7)/(2×22)
r2 = 39.69 or r = 6.3
Volume of air inside the dome = Volume of hemispherical
dome
= 2/3 πr3
= (2/3)×(22/7)×6.3×6.3×6.3
= 523.908
= Volume of air inside the dome is 523.9 m3. (approx.)
9. Twenty-seven solid iron spheres, each
of radius r and surface area S are melted
to form a sphere with surface area S’.
Find the
(i) radius r’ of the new sphere,
(ii) ratio of Sand S’.
Solution:
Volume of the solid sphere = (4/3)πr3
Volume of 27 solid spheres = 27×(4/3)πr3 = 36
π r3
(i) Radius of new solid iron sphere = r’
Volume of this new sphere = (4/3)π(r’)3
ATQ, (4/3)π(r’)3 = 36 π r3
Or (r’)3 = 27r3
r’= 3r
Radius of new sphere will be 3r.
(thrice the radius of original sphere)
(ii) Surface area of iron sphere of radius r, S
=4πr2
Surface area of iron sphere of radius r’= 4π
(r’)2
S/S’ = (4πr2)/( 4π (r’)2)
S/S’ = r2/(3r’)2 = 1/9
The ratio of S and S’ is 1: 9.
10. A capsule of medicine is in the shape of a
sphere of diameter 3.5mm. How much
medicine (in mm3) is needed to fill this
capsule?
Solution:
Diameter of capsule = 3.5 mm
Radius of capsule (3.5/2) mm = 1.75mm
Volume of spherical capsule = 4/3 πr3
= (4/3)×(22/7)×(1.75)3 = 22.458
Medicine needed to fill this capsule is 22.46 mm3.
(ii) Surface area of iron sphere of radius r, S
=4πr2
Surface area of iron sphere of radius r’= 4π
(r’)2
S/S’ = (4πr2)/( 4π (r’)2)
S/S’ = r2/(3r’)2 = 1/9
The ratio of S and S’ is 1: 9.
