Q) The inner and outer radii of a hollow cylinder surmounted on a hollow hemisphere of same radii are 3 cm and 4 cm respectively. If height of the cylinder is 14 cm, then find its total surface area (inner and outer).

Ans: Let’s draw a diagram to better understand the question:

The inner and outer radii of a hollow cylinder surmounted on a hollow hemisphere

Here, in this question, it is given that:

Outer radii (of sphere and cylinder), R1 = 4 cm

Inner radii (of sphere and cylinder), R2 = 3 cm

Height of cylinder, H = 14 cm

Total surface area = Outer Surface Area of Cylinder + Outer Surface Area of Hemisphere + Surface Area of Circular Ring at the top + Inner Surface Area of Cylinder + Inner Surface Area of Hemisphere

= 2 \pi (R_1) H  + 2 \pi (R_1)^2 + \pi [ (R_1)^2 - (R_2)^2 ] + 2 \pi (R_2) H + 2 \pi (R_2)^2

= 2 \pi (R_1) [H + R_1 ] + \pi [ (R_1)^2 - (R_2)^2 ] + 2 \pi (R_2) [ H + R_2 ]

= 2 \pi (4)[ (14 + 4 ] + \pi [ (4)^2 - (3)^2 ] + 2 \pi (3) [ 14 + 3 ]

= 144 \pi + 7 \pi (7) + 102 \pi = 253 \pi

= 253 x \frac{22}{7} = \frac{5566}{7} = 795.14 cm2

Therefore, the total surface area (inner and outer) of the shape is 795.14 cm2
