what is the maximum number of spheres with a radius of 10cm that you could fit into a cube of 8000cm cubed
--------------
The volume of a sphere is
Vol+=+4pi%2Ar%5E3%2F3
Divide 8000 by the volume of the sphere.

Stacking and packing is much more complex that just dividing by the volumes, tho. You'll get an answer, but it's meaningless.
