The number of solid spheres each of diameter 6 cm that could be moulded to form a solid metal cylinder 4 cm, is?

Let the number of spheres be N Then, N x 4/3 π x (3) 3 = π x (2) 2 x 45 ⇒ 36N = 180 ∴ N = 180/36 = 5

Question

Accepted Answer

Let the number of spheres be N
Then, N x 4/3 π x (3)³ = π x (2)² x 45
⇒ 36N = 180
∴ N = 180/36 = 5
