Question

A medicine capsule is in the shape of cylinder with two hemispheres stuck to each of its ends (see the given figure). The length of the entire capsule is 14 mm and the diameter of the capsule is 5 mm. Find its surface area. [Use π = `22/7`]

Solution

It can be observed that

Radius (r) of cylindrical part = Radius (r) of hemispherical part 

= `"Diameter of the capsule"/2`

= `5/2`

= 2.5 mm

Length of cylindrical part (h) = Length of the entire capsule − 2 × r

= 14 − 2 × 2.5

= 9 mm

Surface area of capsule = 2 × CSA of hemispherical part + CSA of cylindrical part

= 2 × 2πr2 + 2πrh

`= 4pi(5/2)^2 + 2pi(5/2)(9)`

= 25π + 45π

= 70π mm2

= `70 xx 22/7`

= 220 mm2

Khurja is a city in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh famous for the pottery. Khurja pottery is traditional Indian pottery work which has attracted Indians as well as foreigners with a variety of tea sets, crockery and ceramic tile works. A huge portion of the ceramics used in the country is supplied by Khurja and is also referred as "The Ceramic Town".

One of the private schools of Bulandshahr organised an Educational Tour for class 10 students to Khurja. Students were very excited about the trip. Following are the few pottery objects of Khurja.

Students found the shapes of the objects very interesting and they could easily relate them with mathematical shapes viz sphere, hemisphere, cylinder etc.

Maths teacher who was accompanying the students asked the following questions:

  1. The internal radius of hemispherical bowl (filled completely with water) in I is 9 cm and the radius and height of the cylindrical jar in II are 1.5 cm and 4 cm respectively. If the hemispherical bowl is to be emptied in cylindrical jars, then how many cylindrical jars are required?
  2. If in the cylindrical jar full of water, a conical funnel of the same height and same diameter is immersed, then how much water will flow out of the jar?

The ratio of total surface area of a solid hemisphere to the square of its radius is ______.
