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. :)

Volume of the water in the bucket before the b***s are added =

 

pi * (d/2)^2 * h =  pi  *(10/2)^2 * 4  = pi * (5)^2 * 4  = 100pi in^3

 

Volume of the three b***s =

 

3 * (4/3) pi (d/2)^3  = 4pi ( 6/2)^3  =  4pi (3)^3  =  108 pi in^3

 

So...the total volume of the water and b***s  =  208 pi in^3

 

And [ assuming the bucket is tall enough] ......the height of the water will be :

 

208pi = pi * (10/2)^2 *h

 

208 = 5^2 * h

 

208 = 25 *h

 

208/25  = h  = about 8.32 in  = about 8 in   [rounded]

 

 

cool cool cool
