Vcyl=πR2H=227×3600×180=22×3600×1807=142560007 cm3V_{\text{cyl}} = \pi R^2 H = \frac{22}{7} \times 3600 \times 180 = \frac{22 \times 3600 \times 180}{7} = \frac{14256000}{7} \text{ cm}^3

Step 2: Volume of solid (cone + hemisphere).
Vcone=13πr2hc=13×227×3600×120=22×3600×407=31680007 cm3V_{\text{cone}} = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h_c = \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 3600 \times 120 = \frac{22 \times 3600 \times 40}{7} = \frac{3168000}{7} \text{ cm}^3

8A spherical glass vessel has a cylindrical neck 8 cm long, 2 cm in diameter; the diameter of the spherical part is 8.5 cm. By measuring the amount of water it holds, a child finds its volume to be 345 cm³. Check whether she is correct, taking the above as the inside measurements, and π = 3.14.Show solution
Given:
- Cylindrical neck: length h=8h = 8 cm, diameter = 2 cm → radius rc=1r_c = 1 cm
- Spherical part: diameter = 8.5 cm → radius rs=4.25r_s = 4.25 cm
- π=3.14\pi = 3.14

Step 1: Volume of cylindrical neck.
Vcyl=πrc2h=3.14×12×8=25.12 cm3V_{\text{cyl}} = \pi r_c^2 h = 3.14 \times 1^2 \times 8 = 25.12 \text{ cm}^3

Step 2: Volume of spherical part.
Vsphere=43πrs3=43×3.14×(4.25)3V_{\text{sphere}} = \frac{4}{3}\pi r_s^3 = \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times (4.25)^3
=43×3.14×76.765625= \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times 76.765625
=4×3.14×76.7656253= \frac{4 \times 3.14 \times 76.765625}{3}
=964.333321.39 cm3= \frac{964.33}{3} \approx 321.39 \text{ cm}^3

Step 3: Total volume.
V=25.12+321.39=346.51 cm3V = 25.12 + 321.39 = 346.51 \text{ cm}^3

Conclusion: The actual volume ≈ 346.51 cm³, whereas the child measured 345 cm³. The child's answer is not correct (the correct volume is approximately 346.51 cm³).

Answer: The child's answer is incorrect. The correct volume is approximately 346.51 cm3\boxed{346.51 \text{ cm}^3}.
