you drop a solid glass ball into a cylinder with a radius of 6 cm, raising the water level 1 cm. what is the volume of the gass ball.
-----------
Volume of a cyliner = cross-sectional area * height
V+=+pi%2Ar%5E2%2Ah
The volume of the ball is the area * the change in height
V+=+pi%2Ar%5E2+%2A+1
V of the ball = 36pi
=~ 113.1 cc

volume of the water raised = pi * 6^2 * 1 = 36pi
volume of glass sphere should be same as volume of the water raised or
36pi cm^3
