Question

A few lead spheres of diameter 6 cm are dropped into a cylindrical beaker containing some water such that they are fully submerged. If the diameter of the beaker is 9 cm and the water level has risen y 32 cm, find the number of lead spheres dropped into the beaker.

A.

18

B.

15

C.

16

D.

14

Correct option is A

Given:

The radius of the sphere is 3 cm

Radius & height of cylinder are 4.5 cm & 32cm

Formula used:

The volume of sphere = 4/3πr³

The volume of cylinder = πr²h

Solution:

The volume of sphere inserted = volume of water risen in beaker

Radius of sphere = 6/2= 3 cm

Radius of cylinder = 9/2 = 4.5

So,

(4/3)π × (3)³ × Number of sphere =  π (4.5) × (4.5) × 32

=> Number of sphere = 18

Hence, option (a) is the correct answer.
