A cylinder of radius 12 cm contains water to a depth of 20 cm. A spherical iron ball is dropped into the cylinder and thus the level of water is raised by 6.75 cm. Find the radius of the ball (Use π= 22/7)
Volume of a sphere = (4/3)πr3
Volume of a cylinder = πr2h
Given, a cylindrical tub of radius 12 cm contains water to a depth of 20 cm. A spherical iron ball is dropped into the cylinder and thus the level of water is raised by 6.75 cm.
Volume of water displaced = Volume of the iron ball
⇒ r3 = 729
⇒ r = 9 cm
