Question

A cylindrical can whose base is horizontal and of radius 3.5 cm contains sufficient water so that when a sphere is placed in the can, the water just covers the sphere. Given that the sphere just fits into the can,

Calculate:
(i) the total surface area of the can in contact with water when the sphere is in it.
(ii) the depth of water in the can before the sphere was put into the can.

Take π as 22/7 and give your answers as proper fractions.

Solution

The correct option is B.

192.50 cm², 7/3 cm



Given radius of base of cylindrical can (R) = 3.5 cm
Height(H) =7 cm
Total surface area = 2πRH+πR2
=πR(2H+R)
=227×3.5(14+3.5)
=11×17.5 cm2 = 192.5 cm2

(b) Let the depth of the water be h cm in the can.
Volume of water =Volume of cylinder- volume of sphere
πR2h=πR2H43πR3
πR2h=πR2(H43R)

h=(H43R)
=7(43×3.5)
=21143

h=73 cm
