A spherical cannon ball 28 cm in diameter is melted and recast into a right circular conical mould, base of which is 35 cm in diameter. Find the height of the cone.
Given,
Diameter of cannon ball = 28cm
So the Radius of cannon ball = 14 cm
Volume of cannon ball = πr3 =
π × 143
Radius of the cone = cm
Let the height of cone be h cm.
Volume of cone = π
× h cm3
Here we have,
= π × 143 =
π
× h
= h = π × 14 × 14 × 14 ×
= h = 35.84 cm
Hence, the height of the cone = 35.84 cm.
