Question 14 Marks
A circular hall, surmounted by a hemispherical roof, contains $5236 m^3$ of air. If the internal diameter of the room is equal to the height of the highest point of the roof from the floor, find the height of the hall.
Answer
View full question & answer→diameter of the room $=$ height of the hall $\Rightarrow 2 r=h$
Volume of the hall =
But $\mathrm{r}=\frac{h}{2}$
$\Rightarrow \pi \frac{h^2}{4} h+\frac{2}{3} \pi \frac{h^3}{8}=5236$
$\Rightarrow \pi \frac{h^3}{4}+\frac{2}{24} \pi h^3=5236$
$\Rightarrow \pi h^3\left(\frac{1}{4}+\frac{2}{24}\right)=5236$
$\Rightarrow \pi h^3=\frac{5236 \times 24}{8}$
$\Rightarrow h^3=\frac{5236 \times 24 \times 7}{8 \times 22}$
$\Rightarrow h^3=4998$
$\Rightarrow h=17.09 \mathrm{~m}$
Height of the hall $=17.09 \mathrm{~m}$
