Q5:
A vessel is in the form of an inverted cone. Its height is $8$ cm and the radius of its top, which is open, is $5$ cm. It is filled with water up to the brim. When lead shots, each of which is a sphere of radius $0.5$ cm are dropped into the vessel, one-fourth of the water flows out. Find the number of lead shots dropped in the vessel.
Solution :
Given:
1. A vessel in the shape of an inverted cone with height $h_c = 8$ cm and radius $r_c = 5$ cm.
2. The vessel is filled with water to the brim.
3. Lead shots are spherical in shape with radius $r_s = 0.5$ cm.
4. When lead shots are dropped, $\frac{1}{4}$ of the water in the cone flows out.
To Find:
The number of lead shots ($n$) dropped into the vessel.
Step 1: Calculate the volume of the conical vessel.
The formula for the volume of a cone is $V_c = \frac{1}{3}\pi r_c^2 h_c$.
$V_c = \frac{1}{3} \times \pi \times (5)^2 \times 8$
$V_c = \frac{1}{3} \times \pi \times 25 \times 8$
$V_c = \frac{200}{3}\pi \text{ cm}^3$
Step 2: Determine the volume of water that flows out.
According to the problem, the volume of water that flows out is equal to $\frac{1}{4}$ of the total volume of the cone.
$V_{out} = \frac{1}{4} \times V_c$
$V_{out} = \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{200}{3}\pi = \frac{50}{3}\pi \text{ cm}^3$
Step 3: Calculate the volume of one spherical lead shot.
The formula for the volume of a sphere is $V_s = \frac{4}{3}\pi r_s^3$.
$V_s = \frac{4}{3} \times \pi \times (0.5)^3$
$V_s = \frac{4}{3} \times \pi \times 0.125$
$V_s = \frac{4}{3} \times \pi \times \frac{1}{8} = \frac{1}{6}\pi \text{ cm}^3$
Step 4: Formulate the equation to find the number of lead shots ($n$).
The volume of water displaced is equal to the total volume of the $n$ lead shots dropped into the vessel [By Archimedes' Principle].
$n \times V_s = V_{out}$
$n \times (\frac{1}{6}\pi) = \frac{50}{3}\pi$
Step 5: Solve for $n$.
Divide both sides by $\pi$:
$n \times \frac{1}{6} = \frac{50}{3}$
Multiply both sides by 6:
$n = \frac{50}{3} \times 6$
$n = 50 \times 2$
$n = 100$
Final Answer: The number of lead shots dropped in the vessel is 100.

I have motivated many 10th std student who scored more than 85% I love teaching and I can make you understand what actually studies is!!! It's all about practise and applications
I highly recommend Shivam Sir for Class 10 Mathematics and Science. He taught my brother, and the improvement in his understanding and confidence was remarkable. Before joining his classes, my brother found several concepts difficult, but Shivam Sir explained every topic in a very simple, practical, and easy-to-understand manner. He always ensured that every concept was clear before moving on to the next chapter. His teaching style is interactive and student-friendly. He patiently answers every doubt, gives plenty of practice questions, conducts regular tests, and provides useful tips for board exams. He also shares short tricks, revision strategies, and focuses on strengthening concepts rather than just memorizing answers.
