Question 388009: In an evil experiment, a small spherical drop of oil is allowed to fall onto the surface of water so that it produces a thin film of oil covering a large area.
a) Given that the volume of a drop of oil is 12.5 cubic mm, find the number of drops which can be produced by 5000 cubic mm of oil, and,
b)Given that the volume V of a sphere of radius r is 4/3 pi r^3, express r in terms of V and pi. Then calculate the radius of the drop of oil. Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! In an evil experiment, a small spherical drop of oil is allowed to fall onto the surface of water so that it produces a thin film of oil covering a large area.
a) Given that the volume of a drop of oil is 12.5 cubic mm, find the number of drops which can be produced by 5000 cubic mm of oil
5000/12.5 = 400 drops
--------------------
b)Given that the volume V of a sphere of radius r is 4/3 pi r^3, express r in terms of V and pi. Then calculate the radius of the drop of oil.
-------------------------
r =~ 1.4397 mm
