Answer : 668.66 \; m^{3}

We know that Volume of hemispherical tank=\frac{2}{3}\pi r^{3}

Where, r = radius of hemispherical tank

Now, internal diameter of hemispherical tank is given as 14 m

So, internal radius of hemispherical tank=\frac{14}{2}=7\; m

Tank contains 50 kL of water

We have, 1000 \; L=1\; m^{3}

So, 1\; kL=1\; m^{3}

This means that tank contains 50\; m^{3} of water

\Rightarrow Volume of hemispherical tank =\frac{2}{3}\times\frac{22}{7}\times \left ( 7 \right )^{3}=\frac{2156}{3}=718.66\; m^{3}

Now, as we are given that the already tank contains 50 kilolitres of water

Volume of water pumped into the tank = Total Volume of hemispherical tank -50\; m^{3}

Volume of water pumped into the tank =\left ( 718.66-50 \right )m^{3}=668.66\; m^{3}

Hence the answer is 668.66\; m^{3}
