A hemispherical bowl made of brass has inner diameter 10.5cm. Find the cost of tin-plating it on the inside at the rate of Rs 16 per 100 cm2. (Assume π = 22/7)

 Solution:

Inner radius of hemispherical bowl, say r = diameter/2 = (10.5)/2 cm = 5.25 cm

Formula for Surface area of hemispherical bowl = 2πr2

= 2×(22/7)×(5.25)2 = 173.25

Surface area of hemispherical bowl is 173.25 cm2

Cost of tin-plating 100 cm2 area = Rs 16

Cost of tin-plating 1 cm2 area = Rs 16 /100

Cost of tin-plating 173.25 cm2 area = Rs. (16×173.25)/100 = Rs 27.72

Therefore, the cost of tin-plating the inner side of the hemispherical bowl at the rate of Rs 16 per 100 cm2 is Rs 27.72.
