The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the volume of hot water in the cylindrical vessel after transferring it from the hemispherical bowl. Here are the steps to arrive at the solution: ### Step 1: Understand the dimensions of the hemispherical bowl Let the diameter of the hemispherical bowl be \( d \). Therefore, the radius \( r \) of the bowl is: \[ r = \frac{d}{2} \] ### Step 2: Calculate the volume of the hemispherical bowl The volume \( V \) of a hemisphere is given by the formula: \[ V = \frac{2}{3} \pi r^3 \] Substituting \( r = \frac{d}{2} \): \[ V = \frac{2}{3} \pi \left(\frac{d}{2}\right)^3 = \frac{2}{3} \pi \left(\frac{d^3}{8}\right) = \frac{\pi d^3}{12} \] ### Step 3: Understand the dimensions of the cylindrical vessel Let the height of the cylindrical vessel be \( h \). According to the problem, the radius \( R \) of the cylindrical vessel is 50% more than its height: \[ R = h + 0.5h = 1.5h \] ### Step 4: Calculate the volume of the cylindrical vessel The volume \( V_c \) of a cylinder is given by the formula: \[ V_c = \pi R^2 h \] Substituting \( R = 1.5h \): \[ V_c = \pi (1.5h)^2 h = \pi (2.25h^2) h = 2.25 \pi h^3 \] ### Step 5: Set the volume of the bowl equal to the volume of the cylindrical vessel Since the contents of the bowl are transferred to the cylindrical vessel, we set the volumes equal: \[ \frac{\pi d^3}{12} = 2.25 \pi h^3 \] Cancelling \( \pi \) from both sides: \[ \frac{d^3}{12} = 2.25 h^3 \] Now, substituting \( d = 2R \) (since the diameter of the bowl is the same as that of the cylindrical vessel): \[ \frac{(2R)^3}{12} = 2.25 h^3 \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{8R^3}{12} = 2.25 h^3 \implies \frac{2R^3}{3} = 2.25 h^3 \] ### Step 6: Solve for \( h \) in terms of \( R \) Rearranging gives: \[ h^3 = \frac{2R^3}{3 \times 2.25} = \frac{2R^3}{6.75} = \frac{8R^3}{27} \] Taking the cube root: \[ h = \frac{2R}{3} \] ### Step 7: Substitute \( h \) back to find the volume of the cylindrical vessel Now substituting \( h \) back into the volume formula for the cylindrical vessel: \[ V_c = 2.25 \pi h^3 = 2.25 \pi \left(\frac{2R}{3}\right)^3 = 2.25 \pi \left(\frac{8R^3}{27}\right) = \frac{18R^3}{27} \pi = \frac{2R^3}{3} \pi \] ### Step 8: Find the volume of hot water in the cylindrical vessel Since the volume of hot water transferred from the bowl is equal to the volume of the bowl, we have: \[ V = \frac{\pi d^3}{12} \] And since \( d = 2R \): \[ V = \frac{\pi (2R)^3}{12} = \frac{\pi (8R^3)}{12} = \frac{2\pi R^3}{3} \] ### Conclusion The volume of hot water in the cylindrical vessel is equal to the volume of the bowl, which is \( \frac{2\pi R^3}{3} \).
