Question 1128923: A lead ball is formed into a circular sheet. Find diameter of sheet.
Ball diameter; 2 in.
Sheet thickness; 0.01 in.
A ball is a sphere.
Volume; 4/3 * pi * r^3
Area of circle; pi * r^2
4/3 * 3.1416 * 1^3 = 1.3333 * 3.1416 * 1^3 = 4.18869 cu. in.
Unsure how to proceed. Non-homework.

The circular sheet is a very thin cylinder, with height 0.01 inches.
Volume of lead ball (sphere):
Volume of circular sheet (cylinder):
The two volumes are the same:
= about 11.55 inches

A lead ball is formed into a circular sheet. Find diameter of sheet.
Ball diameter; 2 in.
Sheet thickness; 0.01 in.
A ball is a sphere.
=============
Vol of the sphere = 4pi*r^3/3 = 4pi/3 cubic inches.
----------
Volume of the sheet = pi*r^2*h where h = thickness of 0.01"
V of sheet = pi^r^2*0.01
----
The 2 volumes are equal
4pi/3 = pi*r^2*0.01
0.01r^2 = 4/3
r^2 = 400/3
r =~ 11.54"
d =~ 23.09 inches
