Question

If two hemispheres of curved surface area \(8\pi \text{ cm}^2\) each are joined together to form a sphere. What is the volume of the sphere so formed in \(\text{cm}^3\)?

This question was previously asked in
RRB ALP 2018 CBT 2 Fitter Question Paper (21-Jan-2019) (Shift 3)
The correct answer is
$32\pi/3$

To find the volume of the sphere formed by joining two hemispheres, we start by understanding the relationship between the curved surface area and volume of a sphere.

  1. Begin with the curved surface area of a hemisphere, which is given by \(2\pi r^2\). According to the question, each hemisphere has a curved surface area of \(8\pi \text{ cm}^2\).
    • Using the formula for the hemisphere's curved surface area: \(2\pi r^2 = 8\pi\)
    • Solving for \(r^2\), we get \(r^2 = 4\)
    • Thus, the radius \(r = 2 \text{ cm}\)
  2. Now, calculate the volume of the sphere using the formula: \(V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3\).
    • Substitute \(r = 2 \text{ cm}\) into the volume formula:
    • \(V = \frac{4}{3}\pi (2)^3\)
    • \(V = \frac{4}{3}\pi \times 8\)
    • \(V = \frac{32\pi}{3} \text{ cm}^3\)
  3. Therefore, the volume of the sphere formed is \(\frac{32\pi}{3} \text{ cm}^3\), which corresponds to the option

\(32\pi/3\)

  1. .

The correct answer is \(\frac{32\pi}{3}\).
