Volume of sphere =4/3 *pi*r^3=(4/3)pi(10)^3
\n" ); document.write( "Volume of cylinder = Area of Base *Height=pi(r)^2*h
\n" ); document.write( "the differential height in the cylinder as the sphere displaces the liquid is
\n" ); document.write( "found by setting sphere volume equal to cylinder volume, and solve for h
\n" ); document.write( "(4/3 )pi (r^3)=pi(r^2)(h)
\n" ); document.write( "4/3*10^3=10^2 *h
\n" ); document.write( "4/3 *10=h
\n" ); document.write( "40/3=13.33=h
\n" ); document.write( "Final Height = original + displaced=20 +13.33=33.33 ANSWER

\n" ); document.write( "lets assume that the water cannot pass around sphere,but air can, after all both radius are =10, and it might be a tight fit, then what happens,
\n" ); document.write( "The sphere settles into the water until the water reaches the major diameter.
\n" ); document.write( "how much water goes into this cusp is the difference of the hemisphere volume and the cylinder volume.,.and the corresponding equivalent height of the cylinder is how far the sphere sinks into the water.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "calculating
\n" ); document.write( "pi*10^2(10)-(4/6)pi(10^3)=pi (10^2)h
\n" ); document.write( "10-(4/6)10=h
\n" ); document.write( "3.33=h
\n" ); document.write( "original less 3.33= 20-3.33=16.67 as new height to bottom of sphere
\n" ); document.write( "height to major dia of sphere is 16.67+10=26.67, also new height of water
