a solid sphere of radius 4cm weighs 32kg. find the weight of a shell of the same material whose internal and external radii are 3cm and 5cm
--------------------
Weight = density*Volume
Vol = k*r^3 = 64k
-----
shell of the same material whose internal and external radii are 3cm and 5cm
--> k*(5^3 - 3^3) = 98k
32/4^3 = Weight/98
Weight = 196 kg
