Question 1006500: A jewelry bead is formed by drilling a hole from the center of a sphere with a 1 cm radius. Find the size of the hole such that exactly half of the volume is removed. Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi there,
Formula for the volume of
a sphere = 4/3 Pi r^3
The volume of a sphere with
a radius of 1 cm
= 4/3 pi 1^3
= 4/3 pi.
If a hole is drilled removing half
the volume of the said sphere, the
volume of the hole equals =
1/2 x 4/3pi
= 2/3pi
or 2.09 cm^3 (2 decimal places)
Hope this helps :-)
