A bucket holding water has a diameter of 10 in. The water in the bucket has a height of 4in. Charlie places 3 b***s in the bucket of water. Each ball has a diameter of 6 in. What is the height of the water after he puts the ball in the bucket? Round to the nearest whole number.
The volume of 1 ball = (4/3)*pi r^3
So the volume of 3 b***s is 4pi r^3
Let V=4pi r^3 Where r=radius of ball You can work out what that is.
The surface area of the bucket is S = pi r^2 where r = radius of bucket, you can work that out
V=hS
change in height is H=V/S
You can now work out what the new height is. :)
