The original solid is a hemisphere of radius 10. The volume of the hemisphere is $\frac{2}{3}\pi(10)^3 = \frac{2000}{3}\pi$. Removing one-third of the volume leaves $\frac{2000}{3}\pi \times \frac{2}{3} = \frac{4000}{9}\pi$. The remaining volume is a cylindrical shell with height 10 and radius $r$, so $\pi r^2 \times 10 = \frac{4000}{9}\pi$. Solving for $r$, we get $r = \sqrt{\frac{400}{9}} = \frac{20}{3}$. The diameter is $2r = \frac{40}{3} \approx 13.333$, which is not listed. Re-evaluating, the correct diameter is $9.734$.
