V ball = 240
V = 4/3 * pi * r^3
240 = 4/3 * pi * r^3
(240*3)/(4 * pi) = r^3
r^3=57.29
r=3.85 cm radius of the ball
diameter = 7.70cm
Since the balls are touching each other and 3 balls can be place in the cylinder
the height of cylinder = 3 * diameter
=>23.10cm
radius of cylinder = radius of ball
So cylinder volume = pi * r^2*h
r=3.85, h=23.10
substitute to get the answer
1075 cm^3 ( rounded off)

given:
cylindrical tennis ball container can contain maximum three ball stacked
on one another
the top and bottom ball also touch the lid and the base of the container
respectively - means, the sum of diameters of the three tennis balls is equal to height of the cylindrical container

a tennis ball is a sphere and the volume of a sphere is ; so, if the volume of a tennis ball is ,then






........this is radius and we need diameter:

now we know that the height of the cylindrical container is and we know the radius (which is equal to a radius of the tennis ball) is

the volume of the container is:
