Ex 12.2, 5
A vessel is in the form of an inverted cone. Its height is 8 cm and the radius of its top, which is open, is 5 cm. It is filled with water up to the brim. When lead shots, each of which is a sphere of radius 0.5 cm are dropped into the vessel, one-fourth of the water flows out. Find the number of lead shots dropped in the vessel.
Number of lead shots = (𝑽𝒐𝒍𝒖𝒎𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒘𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒇𝒍𝒐𝒘𝒏 𝒐𝒖𝒕)/(𝑽𝒐𝒍𝒖𝒎𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝟏 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒅 𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒕)
Volume of water flown out
Volume of water flown out = 𝟏/𝟒 × Volume of cone
Given
Radius of cone = r = 5 cm
Height of cone = h = 8 cm
Volume of cone = 1/3 𝜋𝑟^2 ℎ
= 1/3×22/7×5×5×8
= 𝟒𝟒𝟎𝟎/𝟐𝟏 cm3
Thus,
Volume of water flown out = 1/4 × Volume of cone
= 𝟏/𝟒 × 𝟒𝟒𝟎𝟎/𝟐𝟏
= 1100/21 cm3
Volume of 1 lead shot
Lead shot is in from of sphere with
Radius = r = 0.5 cm
Volume of 1 lead shot = Volume of sphere
= 𝟒/𝟑 𝛑𝐫𝟑
= 4/3×22/7×(0.5)3
= 𝟏𝟏/𝟐𝟏 cm3
Now,
Number of lead shots = (𝑉𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑚𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑤𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝑓𝑙𝑜𝑤𝑛 𝑜𝑢𝑡)/(𝑉𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑚𝑒 𝑜𝑓 1 𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑑 𝑠ℎ𝑜𝑡)
= (𝟏𝟏𝟎𝟎/𝟐𝟏)/(𝟏𝟏/𝟐𝟏)
= 1100/21 × 21/11
= 100
Hence there are 100 such lead shots.
