A sphere of maximum volume is cut out from a solid hemisphere. What is the ratio of the volume of the sphere to that of the remaining solid?
Radius of theĀ solid hemisphere = r
Radius of the sphere = r/2
Volume of theĀ remaining solid =Ā volume of theĀ solid hemisphere -Ā volume of theĀ sphere
Volume of the remaining solid = $$\frac{2}{3} \pi r^3 -Ā \frac{2}{3} \pi (\frac{r}{2})^3$$ =Ā $$\frac{2}{3} \pi r^3 - \frac{4}{3} \pi (\frac{r}{2})^3$$
=Ā $$\frac{2}{3} \pi r^3 - \frac{1}{6} \pi r^3$$ = $$ \frac{1}{2} \pi r^3$$
Ratio of the volume of the sphere to that of the remaining solid =Ā Ā $$\frac{1}{6} \pi r^3 : \frac{1}{2} \pi r^3$$ = 1 : 3
