A cylindrical vessel 60 cm in diameter is partially filled with water. A sphere 60 cm in diameter is gently dropped into the vessel. To what further height will water rise in the cylinder?
Correct Answer: 40 cm
Explanation:
Let h and H be the height of water level before and after the dropping of the sphere.
Then, [π x (30)2 x H ] - [π x (30)2 x h ]
= 4/3 π x (30)3
⇒ π x 900 x (H -h) = 4/3 π x 27000
∴ (H- h) = 40 cm
