Question:
A building is in the form of a cylinder surmounted by a hemispherical dome. The base diameter of the dome is equal to $\dfrac{2}{3}$ of the total height of the building. Find the height of the building if it contains $671\dfrac{19}{21}\text{ m}^3$ of air.
Let total height be $H \Rightarrow r = H/3, h = 2H/3$. [1.0 Mark] Total Vol $= \pi r^2 h + \dfrac{2}{3}\pi r^3 = \dfrac{2\pi H^3}{27} + \dfrac{2\pi H^3}{81} = \dfrac{8\pi H^3}{81}$. [2.0 Marks] $\dfrac{8}{81} \times \dfrac{22}{7} H^3 = \dfrac{14110}{21} \Rightarrow H^3 = 729 \Rightarrow H = 9\text{ m}$. Height of building is $9\text{ m}$. [2.0 Marks]
--- 🎯 Official CBSE Marking Scheme: Expressing $r$ and $h$ in terms of total height $H$: 1.0 Mark Forming total volume formula $(8\pi H^3)/81$: 2.0 Marks Solving $H^3 = 729 \Rightarrow H = 9\text{ m}$: 2.0 Marks
