A golf ball has a diameter equal to 4.2 cm. Its surface has 200 dimples each of radius 2 mm. Assuming that the dimples are hemispherical, the total surface area which is exposed to the surroundings is
The correct option is D: 80.58 cm2
Radius of the ball =4.22=2.1 cm
Surface area of the ball =4πr2=4×π(4.22)2=17.64π cm2
In case of each dimple, surface area is equal to πr2 is removed from the surface of the ball where as the surface area of hemisphere =2πr2 is exposed to the surroundings.
∴ Total surface exposed to the surrounding = Surface area of the ball +200×πr2
=17.64π+200π×(210)2 [∵ Radius of ball =2 mm=210 cm]
=17.64π+8π
=25.64×227 cm2
=564.087=80.58 cm2
Hence, the total surface area exposed to the surroundings is 80.58 cm2
