Mercury is very harmful to the average human being. the mercury can easily be released from the lamp if the lamp is knocked over and broken. mercury is also harmful if inhaled. sodium on the other hand is not harmful in any way.

Consider a semi-spherical bowl machined out of wood (A drawing of a semi-spherical bowl can be found in UNIT- 4 Introduction, so
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

The total surface are of the bowl is given by: 0.0532*pi m² (approximately 0.166533 m²)

Explanation:

The total surface area of the semi-spherical bowl can be decomposed in three different sections: 1) an outer semi-sphere of radius 12 cm, 2) an inner semi-sphere of radius 10 cm, and 3) the edge, which is a 2-dimensional ring with internal radius of 10 cm and external radius of 12 cm. We will compute the areas independently and then sum them all.

a) Outer semi-sphere:

A1 = 2*pi*r² = 2*pi*(12 cm)² = 288*pi cm² = 904.78 cm²

b) Inner semi-sphere:

A2 = 2*pi*(10 cm)² = 200*pi cm² = 628.32 cm²

c) Edge (Ring):

A3 = pi*(r1² - r2²) = pi*((12 cm)²-(10 cm)²) = pi*(144-100) cm² = 44*pi cm² = 138.23 cm²

Therefore, the total surface area of the bowl is given by:

A = A1 + A2 + A3 = 288*pi cm² + 200*pi cm² + 44*pi cm² = 532*pi cm² (approximately 1665.33 cm²)

Changing units to m², as required in the problem, we get:

A = 532*pi cm² * (1 m² / 10, 000 cm²) = 0.0532*pi m² (approximately 0.166533 m²)
