Question 433404
The weight of a synthetic ball varies directly with the cube of its radius.
---
w = k*r^3
------
Solve for "k" using "A ball with a radius of 2 inches weighs 4.40 pounds". 
---
4.4 = k*2^3
k = 4.4/8
k = 0.55
------
Equation:
w = 0.55*r^3
===
Find the weight of a ball with the same material with a 3 inch radius.
w = 0.55*3^3
w = 14.85 lbs 

The weight of a ball of the same material with a 3 inch radius is 14.85 lb.
