When we drop the sphere into the cylinder of water, it sinks to the bottom. How much water is displaced by the sphere we dropped in? The volume of a sphere is given by V_sphere=4/3 πr_sphere^3 Now that we know the amount of water that 'moved', and we know the container holding that water is a right circular cylinder, all we need to know is the formula for the volume of such a cylinder. V_cylinder=hπr_cylinder^2
Now we can equate those two volumes and solve for r_cylinder 4/3 πr_sphere^3=hπr_cylinder^2 r_cylinder=√((4r_sphere^3)/3h)=√((4×(3)^3)/(3×1))=√(4×3^2 )=2×3=6 cm
Numbers and figures are an essential part of our world, necessary for almost everything we do every day. As important…
