Surface area of a sphere,
S = 4 x pi x D^2
Volume of a sphere,
V = 1/6 x pi x D^3
Solve for diameter of the sphere at initial conditions:
D1 = (S1 / pi)^0.5
if S2 = 4/3 of S1, then D2 = (4/3 x pi x D1^2 / pi)^0.5
Solve for V2 = 1/6 x pi x D2^3 or
V2 = 1/6 x pi x (4/3 x pi x D1^2 / pi)^0.5
V2 = 1/6 x pi x (4/3 x D1^2)^0.5
V2 = ~153.96% of V1

A mixture compound of equal parts of two liquids, one white and the other black, was placed in a
hemispherical bowl. The total depth of the two liquids is 6 inches. After standing for a short time, the
mixture separated, the white liquid setting below the black. If the thickness of the segment of the black
liquid is 2 inches, find the radius of the bowl in inches.
