metallic spheres of radius 6cm 8 cm and 10 cm respectively are melted to form a single solid spheres find the radius of the resulting sphere
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
According to question
3 metallic spheres are melted to form a single sphere.
so, Volume of resultant sphere=volume of first sphere+volume of 2nd sphere+volume of 3rd sphere
so, 4/3πr³=4/3π{ (6cm)³+(8cm)³+(10cm)³ }
r³ = 216cm³+512cm³+1000cm³
r³=1728cm³
r³=(12cm)³
r=12cm
Hence radius of resultant sphere is 12cm.
★Given:-
- Metallic spheres of radius 6cm 8 cm and 10 cm respectively.
- They are melted to form a single solid spheres.
★To find:-
- Radius of resulting sphere.
★Solution:-
Let,
- r1= 6cm
- r2= 8cm
- r3= 10 cm
- R = radius of new sphere
Using the formula,
✦Volume of sphere = 4/3πr³
Volume of 1st metallic sphere:-
⇒ (V1)= 4/3π(r1)³
⇒ 4/3 π (6)³
Volume of 2nd metallic sphere:-
⇒ (V2)= 4/3π(r2)³
⇒ 4/3 π (8)³
Volume of 3rd metallic sphere:-
⇒ (V3) = 4/3π(r3)³
⇒ 4/3 π (10)³
According to question,
As the spheres are melted to form a single solid sphere,
→Volume of 3 old spheres= volume of new sphere
→V1+V2+V3 = V
Putting the values,
⇒4/3π(6)³+ 4/3π(8)³+4/3π(10)³=4/3πR³
⇒4/3π(6³+8³+10³)=4/3 πR³
⇒216+512+1000=R³
⇒1728= R³
⇒R= 12
Hence,
The radius of the resulting sphere = 12cm.
