Let radius of the sphere be r cm.
Now, Volume of sphere = Sum of Volume of both cones.
∴ Diameter of sphere = 4.2 cm.
A right circular cone is 4.1 cm high and the radius of its base is 2.1...
Given:
Height of first cone (h1) = 4.1 cm
Radius of base of first cone (r1) = 2.1 cm
Height of second cone (h2) = 4.3 cm
Radius of base of second cone (r2) = 2.1 cm
To find: Diameter of the sphere formed after melting and recasting the cones
1. Volume of the first cone:
The volume of a cone is given by the formula:
V1 = (1/3) * π * r1^2 * h1
Substituting the given values, we get:
V1 = (1/3) * π * (2.1 cm)^2 * 4.1 cm
2. Volume of the second cone:
Similarly, the volume of the second cone is given by:
V2 = (1/3) * π * r2^2 * h2
Substituting the given values, we get:
V2 = (1/3) * π * (2.1 cm)^2 * 4.3 cm
3. Total volume of the two cones:
The total volume of the two cones will be equal to the volume of the sphere formed after melting and recasting.
V_total = V1 + V2
4. Volume of the sphere:
The volume of a sphere is given by the formula:
V_sphere = (4/3) * π * r_sphere^3
5. Equating the volumes:
Setting V_total = V_sphere and rearranging the equation, we get:
(4/3) * π * r_sphere^3 = V1 + V2
6. Substituting the values and solving for r_sphere:
(4/3) * π * r_sphere^3 = (1/3) * π * (2.1 cm)^2 * 4.1 cm + (1/3) * π * (2.1 cm)^2 * 4.3 cm
Simplifying the equation, we get:
(4/3) * π * r_sphere^3 = (1/3) * π * (2.1 cm)^2 * (4.1 cm + 4.3 cm)
Cancelling out the common terms and solving, we get:
r_sphere^3 = (2.1 cm)^2 * (8.4 cm)
Taking the cube root of both sides, we get:
r_sphere = ∛((2.1 cm)^2 * (8.4 cm))
7. Calculating the diameter of the sphere:
The diameter of the sphere is given by:
d_sphere = 2 * r_sphere
Substituting the value of r_sphere, we get:
d_sphere = 2 * ∛((2.1 cm)^2 * (8.4 cm))
Simplifying the expression, we get:
d_sphere = 2 * ∛(8.82 cm^3)
Calculating the cube root, we get:
d_sphere = 2 * 2.1 cm
Finally, evaluating the expression, we get:
d_sphere = 4.2 cm
Therefore, the diameter of the sphere formed after melting and recasting the cones is 4.2 cm. Hence, option B is correct.
