A hemispherical tank full of water is emptied by a pipe at the rate of litres per second. How much time will it take to empty the tank, if it is 3 m in diameter? (Take π =
)
OR
Two cones with same base diameter 16 cm and height 15 cm are joined together along their bases. Find the surface area of the shape so formed.
Given: Tank is in form of hemisphere with diameter = 3m
To find: Time taken to empty the tank
Proof:
Diameter = 3m

Given: Two cones with same base diameter 16cm and height 15cm
To find: Surface area of shape formed
Proof:
If two cones with same base and height are joined together along their bases, then the shape so formed looks like as figure shown below:

Diameter of cone = 16cm
![]()
Height of cone, h = 15cm
So, the surface area of the shape so formed
= CSA of first cone + CSA of second cone
Since both cones are identical,
∴ the surface area of the shape = 2 × CSA of the cone
We know that,
Curved Surface Area of Cone = πrl
= 2 × πrl

= 854.85 cm2
= 855 cm2 (approx.)
Hence, the surface area of shape is 855 cm2
