Volume of spherical shell = Volume of cone recast by melting [1]

For Spherical Shell,

Internal diameter, d₁ = 4 cm

Internal radius, r₁ = 2 cm

[ as radius = 1/2 diameter]

External diameter, d₂ = 8 cm

External radius, r₂ = 4 cm

Now,

As volume of spherical shell

where r₁ and r₂ are internal and external radii respectively.

volume of given shell

Using [1] we have

Volume of cone = 224π /3 cm³

For cone,

Base diameter = 8 cm

Base radius, r = 4 cm

[ as radius = 1/2 diameter]

Let Height of cone be 'h'.

As,

volume of cone =

where r = Base radius and h = height of cone

Volume of given cone

⇒ 16h = 224

h = 14 cm

So, Height of cone is 14 cm.
