Maths · Circle, conic sections: A standard form of equations of a circle, the general form of the equation of a circle, its radius and centre

A sphere of radius is dropped into a cylindrical vessel of radius . If the spher

A sphere of radius \( 3 \mathrm{cms} \) is dropped into a cylindrical vessel of radius \( 4 \mathrm{cms} \). If the sphere is submerged completely, then the height (in \( \mathrm{cm} \) ) to which the water rises, is

  • A. 2.35
  • B. 2.30
  • C. 2.25
  • D. 2.15

Step-by-step solution

Volume of sphere = (4/3)π(3^3) = 36π cm³. Area of base of cylinder = π(4^2) = 16π cm². Rise in water level h = volume / area = 36π / 16π = 9/4 = 2.25 cm.
