A circular hall (big room) has a hemispherical roof. The greatest height is equal to the inner diameter, find the area of the floor, given that the capacity of the hall is 48510 m cube.

Let the radius of the hemisphere be r.
Inner diameter = 2r
Given greatest height equal to inner diameter.
So total height of the hall = 2r
Height of the hemispherical part = r
Height of cylindrical area, h = 2r-r = r
Capacity of the hall = Volume of cylindrical area + volume of hemispherical area
= r2h + (2/3)r3
= r3+ (2/3)r3 [∵h = r]
= r3 (1+2/3)
= r3 (3+2)/3
= (5/3)r3
Given capacity of hall = 48510 m3
(5/3)r3= 48510
(5/3)×(22/7)r3= 48510
r3 = 48510×3×7/(22×5)
r3 = 9261
Taking cube root on both sides,
r = 21
Area of the floor = r2
= (22/7)×212
= (22×21×3
= 1386 m2
Hence the Area of the floor is 1386 m2 .
