  1. given in problem,

    the radius of the hemispherical bowl, R = 9 cm

    the internal base radius of the cylindrical vessel, r = 6 cm

    the height of the water in the cylindrical vessel be h.

    for that,

    volume of the hemispherical bowl = volume of the cylindrical vessel

    [2/3] Π r³ = Πr²h

    [2/3]  r³ = r²h

    [2/3] *9*9*9 = 6*6*h

    2*3*81=36*h

    6*81=36*h

    486=36*h

    h=486/36

    h=13.5 cm

    ∴ The height of the water in the cylindrical vessel is 13.5 cm.
