Given:

Hollow spherical shell:

Internal radius (r1) = 4 cm

External radius (r2) = 8 cm

Cylinder:

Height (h) = 9 (1/3) cm = 28/3 cm

Formula used:

Volume of hollow sphere = (4/3)π(r23 - r13)

Volume of cylinder = πr2h

Curved surface area of cylinder = 2πrh

Calculation:

Volume of hollow spherical shell:

Vs = (4/3)π(83 - 43)

(4/3)π(512 - 64) = (4/3)π(448)

Vs = (1792/3)π cm3

Volume of cylinder = Volume of hollow sphere:

⇒ πr2h = (1792/3)π = r2(28/3) = 1792/3

⇒ r2 = 1792 / 28 = 64

⇒ r = 8 cm

Curved surface area of cylinder = 2πrh

2π(8)(28/3)

CSA = 448π/3 cm2

The curved surface area of the cylinder is \(\frac{448}{3}\)π cm2.
