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.
