Question 1195509: A bowl is in the shape of a hemisphere (half sphere) with radius 10 cm. The surface of the water in the
container has a radius of 7 cm. How deep is the water? Give your answer to one decimal place. Found 2 solutions by bushra444, math_helper:Answer by bushra444(1) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The distance from the hemisphere center to the water surface in the bowl is (Pithagoras)
\sqrt{10^2-7^2}=\sqrt{100-49}=\sqrt{51}
Then the depth of the water in the bowl is
A 'gas tank' type problem...
The bowl has the shape and we can add 10 to get
the bottom of the bowl to sit exactly at the origin .
So for water with radius 7:
which is approx 2.85857.
The height, h (green line), to one decimal place is therefore
(
