Question

A cylindrical drill with radius 4 is used to bore a hole through the center of a sphere of radius 5. Find the volume of the ring shaped solid that remains.

Answer 1

Answer:

The volume of the ring shaped solid that remains is 21 unit^3.

Explanation:

The total volume of the sphere is given as:

Volume of Sphere = (4/3)πr^3

where, r = radius of sphere

Volume of Sphere = (4/3)(π)(5)^3

Volume of Sphere = 523.6 unit^3

Now, we find the volume of sphere removed by the drill:

Volume removed = (Cross-sectional Area of drill)(Diameter of Sphere)

Volume removed = (πr²)(D)

where, r = radius of drill = 4

D = diameter of sphere = 2*5 = 10

Therefore,

Volume removed = (π)(4)²(10)

Volume removed = 502.6 unit^3

Therefore, the volume of ring shaped solid that remains will be the difference between the total volume of sphere, and the volume removed.

Volume of Ring = Volume of Sphere - Volume removed

Volume of Ring = 523.6 - 502.6

Volume of Ring = 21 unit^3
