            Diameter of hemisphere = 0.5 cm

        Radius =\frac{0.5}{2}=\frac{5}{20}=\frac{1}{4}=0.25cm

       \text{ Volume of hemisphere }=\frac{2}{3}\pi r^{3}

                        = \frac{2}{3}\times\frac{22}{7}\times \frac{1}{4}\times\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}=\frac{11}{336}

        \text{ Volume of two hemispheres} =\frac{2 \times11}{336} =\frac{11}{168}

            Similarly radius of the cylinder = 0.25

            Height  = 2- 0.25 -0.25

                        = 2- 0.5

                        =1.5 cm

        Volume = \pi r ^{2}h

                        = \frac{22}{7}\times \frac{1}{4}\times\frac{1}{4}\times\frac{15}{10}\Rightarrow \frac{33}{112}

            The total volume of the capsule = volume of two hemispheres + volume of the cylinder

                        =\frac{11}{168}+\frac{33}{112}

                        =0.065 +0.294

                        = 0.359cm3

                        =0.36cm3   (approximate)
