The largest possible hemisphere is drilled out from a wooden cubical block of side $21$ cm such that the base of the hemisphere is on one of the faces of the cube. Find :
(i) the volume of wood left in the block,
(ii) the total surface area of the remaining solid.
Show SolutionHide Solution
Diameter of hemisphere $=$ side of the cube $= 21$ cm
$\therefore$ radius of hemisphere $= \frac{21}{2}$ cm
(i) Volume of the wood left $=$ volume of cube $-$ volume of hemisphere
$= 21^3 - \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times (\frac{21}{2})^3$
$= 6835.5$ cm$^3$
(ii) Total surface area of remaining solid $=$ TSA of cube $-$ base area of hemisphere $+$ CSA of hemisphere
$= 6 \times 21^2 - \frac{22}{7} \times (\frac{21}{2})^2 + 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times (\frac{21}{2})^2$
$= 2992.5$ cm$^2$
