A hollow metallic spherical shell has an inner radius of 33 centimeters and an outer radius of rr centimeters, where r>3r > 3. If the spherical shell is melted down and completely recast into a solid right circular cylinder with base radius rr centimeters and height 77 centimeters, what is the value of rr?

Cevap

The volume of metal in the hollow spherical shell is 43π(r3−33)=43π(r3−27)\frac{4}{3}\pi(r^3 - 3^3) = \frac{4}{3}\pi(r^3 - 27). The volume of the recast cylinder is πr2h=7πr2\pi r^2 h = 7\pi r^2. Equating these volumes gives 43(r3−27)=7r2\frac{4}{3}(r^3 - 27) = 7r^2, which simplifies to 4r3−21r2−108=04r^3 - 21r^2 - 108 = 0. Factoring this cubic equation gives (r−6)(4r2+3r+18)=0(r - 6)(4r^2 + 3r + 18) = 0. Since the quadratic term has no real roots, the only real solution is r=6r = 6.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Set up the formula for the volume of metal in the hollow spherical shell.
Vshell=43π(r3−33)=43π(r3−27)V_{\text{shell}} = \frac{4}{3}\pi \left(r^3 - 3^3\right) = \frac{4}{3}\pi \left(r^3 - 27\right)
The metal occupies only the region between the inner sphere of radius 3 cm and outer sphere of radius r cm.
2
Set up the formula for the volume of the recast solid right circular cylinder.
Vcylinder=πr2h=7πr2V_{\text{cylinder}} = \pi r^2 h = 7\pi r^2
The cylinder has base radius r cm and height 7 cm.
3
Equate the two volumes since no metal is lost during melting and recasting.
43π(r3−27)=7πr2\frac{4}{3}\pi \left(r^3 - 27\right) = 7\pi r^2
Conservation of volume during recasting.
4
Simplify the equation and solve for r.
4(r3−27)=21r2  ⟹  4r3−21r2−108=04(r^3 - 27) = 21r^2 \implies 4r^3 - 21r^2 - 108 = 0
Divide both sides by π\pi and multiply by 3 to clear the fraction.
5
Factor the cubic polynomial 4r3−21r2−108=04r^3 - 21r^2 - 108 = 0.
(r−6)(4r2+3r+18)=0  ⟹  r=6(r - 6)(4r^2 + 3r + 18) = 0 \implies r = 6
Testing r=6r = 6 gives 4(216)−21(36)−108=864−756−108=04(216) - 21(36) - 108 = 864 - 756 - 108 = 0. The quadratic factor 4r2+3r+184r^2 + 3r + 18 has a negative discriminant and produces no real roots.
