Maths Lab Manual Class 10 CBSE Volume of a Sphere Experiment

Determine Volume of a Sphere Class 10 Practical

Objective
To find the formula for the volume of a sphere with the help of an activity.

Prerequisite Knowledge
Volume of a cylinder = πr2h

Materials Required
A hollow hemispherical plastic ball, a cylinder with diameter and height both equal to the diameter of hemisphere, sand.

Procedure

  1. Take a hollow hemisphere and fill it with sand and empty it into the cylinder.fig, (i).
    NCERT Class 10 Maths Lab Manual - Volume of a Sphere 1
    NCERT Class 10 Maths Lab Manual - Volume of a Sphere 2
  2. Again fill the hemisphere with sand and empty it into the same cylinder second time. fig. (ii).
    NCERT Class 10 Maths Lab Manual - Volume of a Sphere 3
  3. Again fill the hemisphere with sand and empty it into the same cylinder third time., fig. (iii).
    NCERT Class 10 Maths Lab Manual - Volume of a Sphere 4

Observation
We observe that the cylinder is completely filled up by pouring sand three times through hemispherical ball.
∴3 x Volume of hemisphere = Volume of cylinder with radius r and height 2r
∴3 x Volume of hemisphere = πr2(2r) = 2πr3
∴Volume of a hemisphere = \(\frac{2\pi{r}^{3}}{3}\)
∴ Volume of sphere = 2 x \(\frac { 2\pi { r }^{ 3 } }{ 3 }\) = \(\frac{4\pi{r}^{3}}{3}\)

Result
Volume of a sphere = \(\frac{4\pi{r}^{3}}{3}\) (verified experimentally).

Learning Outcome
Smdents arrive at the formula for the volume of a sphere and they are able to relate it with the volume of a cylinder.
Volume of a sphere = volume of a cylinder.
⇒ \(\frac{4\pi{r}^{3}}{3}\) = πr2h (if they have same radius and volume)
∴h = \(\frac { 4 }{ 3 }\) r

Activity Time
If the radius of the sphere is tripled, then what will be the effect on its volume ? Verify it by an activity.
