Given,

Internal diameter of the hollow sphere = 6 cm

So, the internal radius of the hollow sphere = 6/2 cm = 3 cm = r

External diameter of the hollow sphere = 10 cm

So, the external radius of the hollow sphere = 10/2 cm = 5 cm = R

We know that,

Volume of the hollow spherical shell = 4/3 π × (R3 – r3)

= 4/3 π × (53 – 33)         …..  (i)

And given, the length of the solid cylinder = 8/3 cm

Let the radius of the solid cylinder be r cm

We know that,

Volume of the cylinder = π × r2 × h

= π × r2 × 8/3       ….. (ii)

Now equating both (i) and (ii), we have

4/3 π × 53 – 33 = π × r2 × 8/3

4/3 x (125 – 27) = r2 × 8/3

98/2 = r2

r2 = 49

r = 7

So, d = 7 x 2 = 14 cm

Therefore, the diameter of the cylinder is 14 cm.
