6. A medicine capsule is in the shape of a cylinder with two hemispheres stuck to each of its ends. The length of the entire capsule is 14 mm and the diameter of the capsule is 5 mm. Find its surface area.
Solution:
Length of Capsule
14 mm
Diameter of Capsule = Diameter of Cylinder = 5 mm
Radius of each Hemisphere =Radius of Cylinder
mm
Length of Cylinder = AB = Total length of Capsule – Radius of left Hemisphere – Radius of Right Hemisphere
mm
Surface Area of Capsule = Curved Surface Area of Cylinder + Surface Area of Left Hemisphere + Surface Area of Right Hemisphere
