You can put this solution on YOUR website! A ball has a radius of 6cm.
Jack puts some balls in a cylindrical tank with a diameter of 24cm containing water.
The water level rises 8cm. How many balls are in the tank?
:
Let n = no. of balls in the tank
Tank radius = 12 cm
:
Total Ball vol = Tank water volume increase
n() =
divide both sides by pi
n() =
do the math
288n = 1152
n = 1152/288
n = 4 balls
