A hemispherical tank is made up of an iron sheet 1 cm thick. If the inner radius is 1 m, then find the volume of the iron used to make the tank.


Answer :

Given :
Inner radius of hemispherical tank (r) = 1 m
Thickness of hemispherical tank 1 cm = 0.01 m
Outer radius of hemispherical tank (R) = (1 + 0.01) m = 1.01 m

We know that,

Volume of iron is used to make such a tank
= \(\frac{2}{3}{\pi}({R}^3 - {r}^3)\)
= \(\frac{2}{3} × \frac{22}{7} × ({1.01}^3 - {1}^3)\) \({m}^3\)
= \(\frac{44}{21} × (1.030301 - 1)\) \({m}^3\)
= 0.06348 \({m}^3\) (approx.)

Therefore, the volume of the iron used to make the tank is 0.06348 \({m}^3\).
