Answer
View full question & answer→Inner radius of hemispherical tank $( r )=1 m=100 \ cm$
Thickness of sheet $=1 \ cm$
$\therefore$ Outer radius of hemispherical tank $( R )=100+1=101 \ cm$
Volume of iron of hemisphere $=\frac{2}{3} \pi\left[ R ^3- r ^3\right] \ cm ^2$
$=\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times\left[(101)^3-(100)^3\right] \ cm ^2$
$=\frac{44}{21}[1030301-1000000] \ cm ^2$
$=0.06348 m^2$
Thickness of sheet $=1 \ cm$
