A cubical block of side 10 cm is surmounted by a hemisphere. What is the largest diameter that the hemisphere can have ? Find the cost of painting the total surface area of the solid so formed, at the rate of Rs 5 per 100 sq. cm. [Use π =3.14]

Solution

Now,
Total surface area of the solid  = Total surface area of the cube + curved surface area of the hemisphere - Area of the base of the hemisphere
 = 6a2 + 2πr2 -πr2
= [ 6 x (10)2 + 2 x 3.14 x (5)2 - 3.14 x (5)2] cm2
 = (600 +157 -78.5 ) cm2
= 678.5 cm2
Cost of painting  = Rs 5 per 100 cm2
Therefore, 
Cost of painting the solid = 678.5 x (5/100) = Rs. 33.90
Hence, the approximate cost of painting the solid so formed is Rs. 33.90
