Answer:
[tex]V=83.73\ in^3[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The capsule is in the shape of two hemispheres and cylinder.
The volume of the container = volume of two hemispheres + volume of cylinder
The radius of the container, r = 2 in
Height of the cylindrical part, h = 8 in - 4 in = 4 in
So,
[tex]V=2\times \dfrac{2}{3}\pi r^3+\pi r^2 h\\\\=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3+\pi r^2 h\\\\V=\pi r^2 (\dfrac{4}{3}r+h)[/tex]
Put all the values,
[tex]V=3.14\times 2^2 (\dfrac{4}{3}\times 2+4)\\\\V=83.73\ in^3[/tex]
So, the volume of the container is equal to [tex]83.73\ in^3[/tex].
