Answer:

40 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume, V of hemisphere = 2/3 π r^3

Radius, r = 24 inches ;

V = 2/3 π 24^3

V = 28952.917 in³

Volume of cylinder = π r^2 * h

h = height ; r = Radius = 32 /2 = 16 inches

Volume of hemisphere = volume of cylindrical tank

28952.917 = π (16)^2 * h

28952.917 = 804.24771h

h = 28952.917 / 804.24771

h = 35.9999

h = 40 inches

Molten stell rise is 40 inches
