A vessel full of water is in the form of an inverted cone of height 8 cm and the radius of its top, which is open, is 5 cm. 100 spherical lead balls are dropped into vessel. One-fourth of the water flowsout of the vessel. Find the radius of a spherical ball.
Volume of cone,
⅓πr²h
.°. ⅓×π×(5)²×8
.°. 200/3π -----(1)
NOW,
Volume of liquid displaced = volume of balls dropped
.°. ¼(200/3π)=100×¾πr³ (from eq.(1) )
50 = 100 ×4r³
50/400 =r³
.°. r³= ⅛
.°. r³ = (⅛)³
.°. r = ½cm
.°.
the radius of spherical ball is 0.5cm.
- The radius of the spherical balls.
Let's first find out the volume of the cone.
We know that, Volume of the water or the Volume of a cone:-
Putting in the values,
Now, by Archimedes principle we know that,
The volume of the balls dropped in the vessel = The volume of the water displaced.
Now, we know that the formula to find out the volume of a sphere is:-
Now, using this we can write,
