The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to calculate the radius of the cylindrical hole drilled through the metallic enclosure such that the volume of this hole is one-third of the volume of the metal solid after drilling. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the dimensions of the metallic enclosure:** - The metallic enclosure consists of a cylindrical base and a conical top. - The radius of the base (cylinder) is given as \( r = 5 \) cm. - Let the height of the cylinder be \( 3k \) and the height of the cone be \( 2k \) based on the ratio of their heights (3:2). 2. **Calculate the total height of the metallic enclosure:** \[ \text{Total height} = \text{Height of cylinder} + \text{Height of cone} = 3k + 2k = 5k \] 3. **Calculate the volume of the cylinder:** \[ V_{\text{cylinder}} = \pi r^2 h = \pi (5^2)(3k) = 75\pi k \text{ cm}^3 \] 4. **Calculate the volume of the cone:** \[ V_{\text{cone}} = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h = \frac{1}{3} \pi (5^2)(2k) = \frac{50}{3}\pi k \text{ cm}^3 \] 5. **Calculate the total volume of the metallic enclosure:** \[ V_{\text{total}} = V_{\text{cylinder}} + V_{\text{cone}} = 75\pi k + \frac{50}{3}\pi k \] To combine these, convert \( 75\pi k \) to a fraction: \[ 75\pi k = \frac{225}{3}\pi k \] Thus, \[ V_{\text{total}} = \left(\frac{225}{3} + \frac{50}{3}\right)\pi k = \frac{275}{3}\pi k \text{ cm}^3 \] 6. **Calculate the height of the cylindrical hole:** - The height of the hole is given as two-thirds the height of the metallic solid: \[ \text{Height of hole} = \frac{2}{3} \times 5k = \frac{10k}{3} \] 7. **Let the radius of the hole be \( r_h \). Calculate the volume of the hole:** \[ V_{\text{hole}} = \pi r_h^2 \left(\frac{10k}{3}\right) = \frac{10}{3}\pi r_h^2 k \text{ cm}^3 \] 8. **Set up the equation based on the condition that the volume of the hole is one-third the volume of the metallic solid after drilling:** - After drilling, the volume of the solid is: \[ V_{\text{remaining}} = V_{\text{total}} - V_{\text{hole}} = \frac{275}{3}\pi k - \frac{10}{3}\pi r_h^2 k \] - We want the volume of the hole to be one-third of the remaining volume: \[ V_{\text{hole}} = \frac{1}{3} V_{\text{remaining}} \] Substituting the volumes: \[ \frac{10}{3}\pi r_h^2 k = \frac{1}{3} \left(\frac{275}{3}\pi k - \frac{10}{3}\pi r_h^2 k\right) \] 9. **Clear the fractions by multiplying through by 3:** \[ 10\pi r_h^2 k = \frac{1}{3} \left(275\pi k - 10\pi r_h^2 k\right) \] Simplifying gives: \[ 30\pi r_h^2 k = 275\pi k - 10\pi r_h^2 k \] Combine like terms: \[ 40\pi r_h^2 k = 275\pi k \] 10. **Solve for \( r_h^2 \):** \[ r_h^2 = \frac{275}{40} = \frac{55}{8} \] Therefore, the radius \( r_h \) is: \[ r_h = \sqrt{\frac{55}{8}} = \frac{\sqrt{55}}{2\sqrt{2}} \approx 3.5 \text{ cm} \] ### Final Answer: The radius of the hole should be approximately \( 3.5 \) cm.
