A golf ball has a diameter of 4.1cm and the surface has 150 dimples of radius 2mm calculate the total surface area which is exposed to the surroundings. Assume the dimples are hemispherical

Respuesta :

We have
Diametre of golf ball= 4.1cm
radius of each dimplets= 2mm
surface area of the ball =4Ï€r
2
=4π×(

In case of each dimplets, surface area equal to πr
2
(r is the radius of each dimple) is removed from the surface of the ball where as the surface area of hemisphere i.e 2Ï€r
2
is exposed to the surroundings

Total surface area exposed to the surroundings = surface area of the ball

−150πr

+150×2πr

=16.81Ï€+150Ï€r
