Question 2. If the cost of making a leather ball is Rs. 431.20 at Rs. 17.50 per square cm, let us write by calculating the length of the diameter of the ball.

Solution:

Given

If the cost of making a leather ball is Rs. 431.20 at Rs. 17.50 per square cm

Surface area of the leather ball = 4πr² (r= radius)

According to the problem,

4πr² x 17.50 = 431.20

.. 4πг² = 431.20 /17.50

= 24.64

or, 4 x 22/7 x r² = 24.64

r² = 24.64×7 / 2×22

= 1.96

∴ r=√1.96

r = 1.4

∴ Diameter = 2 x 1.4 cm = 2.8 cm.

The length of the diameter of the ball = 2.8 cm.

Question 3. If the length of diameter of the ball used for playing shotput in our school is 7 cm, let us write by calculating how many cubic cm of iron is there in the ball.

If the length of diameter of the ball used for playing shotput in our school is 7 cm

Radius of the ball /r=7/2 cm (as. Diameter = 7 cm)

Volume of the ball = 4/3 πг²

= 4/3 x 22/7 x 7/2 x 7/2 x 7/2

=539/2 cu cm.

=179 2/3 cu cm.

∴ 179 2/3 cu cm iron is in the ball.

Question 4. If the length the diameter of a solid sphere is 28 cm and it is completely immersed in the water, let us calculate the volume of water displaced by the sphere. 

Solution:

Given

If the length the diameter of a solid sphere is 28 cm and it is completely immersed in the water

Diameter = 28 cm.

Radius (r) = 28/2 

= 14 cm. 

Volume of the sphere = 4/3 πr³

= 4/3 x 22/7 x 14 x 14 x 14 cu cm.

= 11498.67 cu cm.

.. Volume of displaced water = 11498.67 cu cm.

Question 5. The length of the radius of a spherical gas balloon increases from 7 cm to 21 cm as air is being pumped into it; let us find the ratio of surface areas of the balloon in two cases. 

Solution: 

Given

The length of the radius of a spherical gas balloon increases from 7 cm to 21 cm as air is being pumped into it

1st case radius (r) = 7 cm,

2nd case radius (r2) = 21 cm.

∴ Area of total surface of the 1st ball = \(4 \pi r_1{ }^2\)

= \(4 \pi(7)^2 \text { Sq. cm. }\)

Area of total surface of the 2nd ball = \(4 \pi r_2{ }^2\)

= \(4 \pi(21)^2 \mathrm{sqcm} .\)

∴ Ratio of their total surface areas = \(4 \pi(7)^2: 4 \pi(21)^2\)

= 49: 441

= 1: 9.

The ratio of their total surface area = 1: 9.

Question 6. 127 sq cm of the sheet is required to make a hemispherical bowl. Let us write by calculating the length of the diameter of the forepart of the bowl.

Solution:

Given

A sheet of 127 sq cm is required to make a hemispherical bowl.

The surface area of the hemispherical bowl = 127 2/7 sq 

cm = 891/7 sq cm.

If the radius = r cm.

∴2πr² = 891/7

2 x 22/7 r²= 291/7

∴ r² = 891/7 x 7/22×2

=81/4

∴ r = 9/2 cm.

∴ Diameter = 2 x²

= 9 cm.

The length of the diameter of the forepart of the bowl = 9 cm.


Question 7. The length of the radius of a solid spherical ball is 2.1 cm; let us write by calculating how much cubic cm iron is there and let us find the curved surface area of the iron ball.

The radius of the spherical ball = 2.1 cm.

The volume of the sphere = 4/3 π x (2.1)³ cu cm.

= 4/3 x 22/7 x 2.1 x 2.1 cu cm. 

= 38.81 cu cm.

Total surface area = 4πr² = 4 x 22/7 x (2.1)2 sq cm.

= 4 x 22/7 x 2.1 x 2.1 sq cm. 

= 55.44 sq cm.

The curved surface area of the iron ball = 55.44 sq cm.

Diameter of the solid sphere = 14 cm.

∴ Radius (r) of the solid sphere = 14/2 π = 7 cm.

The volume of lead in the solid sphere = 4/3 π (7)³ cu cm.

The radius of the small sphere = 3.5 cm.

∴ Volume of small sphere =4/3 π (3.5)³ cu cm.

∴ No. of small sphere = 4/3π x7x7x7 /4/3π x3.5×3.5×3.5

=2x2x2 

= 8.

8 spheres with a length of 3.5 cm radius can be made.


Question 9. Three spheres made of copper having lengths of 3 cm, 4 cm and 5 cm radii are melted and a large sphere is made. Let us write by calculating the length of the radius of the large sphere.

Solution:

Given

Three spheres made of copper having lengths of 3 cm, 4 cm and 5 cm radii are melted and a large sphere is made.

Volume of 1st sphere with radius 3 cm = 4/3 π (3)³ cu cm.

The volume of the 2nd sphere with a radius of 4 cm = 4/3π (4)³ cu cm.

& Volume of 3rd sphere with radius 5 cm = 4/3π (5)³ cu cm.

Total volume of 3 small spheres= 4/3π(3)³ + 4/3 π(4)³ + 4/3π (5)³

= 4/3π(33 +43 +53) cu cm.

= 4/3π(27 +64 +125) cu cm.

= 4/3π x 216 cu cm.

Now, let the radius of the new big sphere = R cm.

.. Its volume = 4/3πR³

According to the problem,

4/3πR³=  4/3π x 216

.. R³ = 216

Diameter of base of a hemispherical tomb = 42 dm.

.. Radius of base r = 42/2

= 21 dm.

Surface area = 2πr² = 2 x 22/7 x (21)² sq dm.

= 2 x 22/7 x 21 x 21 sq dm. 

= 2772 sq dm. 

= 27.72 sqm.

The total cost for colouring the upper surface of the tomb is Rs. 35 x 27,72= Rs. 970.20.

The radius of the 1st sphere = 21/2 cm and the radius of the 2nd sphere = 17.5/2 cm.

The total surface area of the 2nd sphere = 4π (21/2)2 sq cm.

The total surface area of the 2nd sphere = 4π (17.5/2)2 sq cm.

.. Ratio of metal sheet to make the two spheres

= 4π (21/2)2 : 4π (17.5/2)2

= 21×21 / 2×2 :  17.5×17.5 / 2xx

= 441/4:  5359.375 /4 

= 441 / 4

= 4/306.25

= 36: 25.

Ratio of metal sheet to make the two spheres = 36: 25.

Let the radius of the old sphere = R cm and the radius of the new sphere = r cm.

Surface area of the old sphere = 4πR² sq cm.

The surface area of the new sphere = 4πr²

According to the question, 1/2 4πR² = 4лг²

R=2r²

∴ R= √2r.

The volume of the old sphere =4/3 лг³

=(√2r)³ cu cm.

The volume of the new sphere = 4/3 лг³

Volume of the remaining sphere = (√2r)³ –

=(2√2-1)

.. Ratio of the volumes of the portion cut off and the remaining portions of sphere

=(2√2-1):

= (√2-1):1

Radius of the globe = 14 cm

Surface area of the globe = 4π  x 14 x 14 = 4 x 22/7 x 14 x 14

= 2464 sq cm.

Radius of each hole = 0.7 cm.

∴ Area of two holes = 2 × π (0.7)³ = 2 × 22/7 x 7/10 x 7/10

= 308/100

= 3.08 sq cm.

∴ Area of the metal sheet surrounding its curved surface = (2464 – 3.08) sq cm

Chapter 12 Sphere Exercise 12.2 Short Answers.

Question 1. The numerical values of volume and whole surface area of a solid hemisphere are equal; let us write the length of radius of the hemisphere.

Solution:

Given

The numerical values of volume and whole surface area of a solid hemisphere are equal

Let the radius of the hemisphere = r unit.

Volume of the hemisphere=2/3 π r3 cu unit 

and total surface area = 3πr2 sq unit. 

According to the problem,

=2/3 π r3 = 3πr2

or, 2r=9

..r=9/2

= 4.5 unit.

Radius of the hemisphere is 4.5 units.

Question 2. The curved surface area of a solid sphere is equal to the surface area of a solid right circular cylinder. The lengths of both height and diameter of the cylinder are 12 cm. Let us write the length of radius of the sphere.

Solution.

Given

The curved surface area of a solid sphere is equal to the surface area of a solid right circular cylinder. The lengths of both height and diameter of the cylinder are 12 cm.

Let the radius of solid sphere = r cm.

Surface area of solid sphere = 47r² sq cm²

Again, height of the cylinder is 12 cm.

Radius of the cylinder = 6 cm.

Curved surface area of the cylinder = 2лrh = 2π x 6 x 12 sq cm. 

= 144π sq cm. 

According to the problem,

4πr² = 144π

r² = 36, 

or, r= 6

∴The radius of the sphere = 6 cm.

Question 3. The whole surface area of a solid hemisphere is equal to the curved surface area of the solid sphere. Let us write the ratio of lengths of radii of the hemisphere and the sphere.

Solution:

Given

The whole surface area of a solid hemisphere is equal to the curved surface area of the solid sphere.

Let the radius of the solid hemisphere = r1 unit

& The radius of the sphere = r2 unit

Total surface area of the hemisphere = \(3 \pi r_1{ }^2 \text { sq unit }\)

& Surface area of the sphere = \(4 \pi r_2^2 \text { sq unit }\)

According to the question,

\(3 \pi r_1^2=4 \pi r_2^2\)

or, \(\frac{\mathrm{r}_1^2}{\mathrm{r}_2^2}=\frac{4}{3} \text { or, } \frac{\mathrm{r}_1}{\mathrm{r}_2}=\frac{\sqrt{4}}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\)

Question 4. If the curved surface area of a solid sphere is S and the volume is V, let us write the value of S3/V2 [not putting the value of π]

Solution:

Given

If the curved surface area of a solid sphere is S and the volume is V

Let the radius of the sphere = r units

Surface area of sphere = s = \(4 \pi r^2\)

Volume of sphere = v = \(\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3\)

\(\frac{S^3}{V^2}=\frac{\left(4 r^2\right)^3}{\left(\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3\right)^2}=\frac{64 \pi^3 r^6}{\frac{16}{9} \pi^2 r^6}=\frac{64 \times 9 \pi^3}{16 \pi^2}=36 \pi\)

 

Question 5. If the length of the radius of a sphere is increased by 50%, let us write how much per cent will be increased of its curved surface area.

Solution:

Given

If the length of the radius of a sphere is increased by 50%

Let the radius of the sphere = r unit

∴ Surface area = \(4 \pi r^2 \text { sq. unit }\)

if the radius of the sphere is increased by 50%,

New radius will be \(r+\frac{50}{100} r\)

= \(r+\frac{r}{2}\)

= \(\frac{3 r}{2}\) Unit.

∴ Surface area will be = \(4 \pi\left(\frac{3 \pi}{2}\right)^2\)

= \(9 \pi r^2\)

Area increased = \(9 \pi r^2-4 \pi r^2\) = 5r2

Increased percentage = \(\frac{5 \pi r^2}{4 \pi r^2} \times 100 \%\)

= 125%

125% will be increased of its curved surface area.
