Question:

What is the volume(in cm3) of a spherical shell whose inner and outer radii are respectively 2 cm and 3 cm ?

Options:

$\frac{86 \pi}{3}$

$\frac{56 \pi}{3}$

$\frac{106 \pi}{3}$

$\frac{76 \pi}{3}$

Correct Answer:

$\frac{76 \pi}{3}$

Explanation:

We know that,

Volume of a hollow sphere = \(\frac{4}{3}\)π(R3 – r3)

We have,

Inner radius (r) = 2 cm

Outer radius (R) = 3 cm

Volume of a hollow sphere =

= \(\frac{4}{3}\) × π × (33 – 23)

= \(\frac{4}{3}\) × π × (27 – 8)

= \(\frac{4}{3}\) × π × 19 = $\frac{76 \pi}{3}$
