The diameter and thickness of a hollow metals sphere are 12 cm and 0.01 m respectively. The density of the metal is 8.88 gm per cm3. Find the outer surface area and mass of the sphere.
Thickness of sphere, t = 0.01m = 1 cm
Diameter of sphere = 12 cm
⇒ Outer Radius of sphere, RO = 6 cm
⇒ Inner Radius of sphere, RI = RO – t = 6 – 1 = 5 cm
Outer Surface area of sphere, A = 4πRO2
⇒ A = 4× 3.14 × 62
⇒ A = 452.16 sq.cm

⇒ Mass = 8.88 × 381.33
⇒ Mass = 3385.94 gm
∴ Outer surface area and mass of the sphere is 452.16 sq.cm and 3385.94 gm
