Question -

A solid metallic sphere of radius 5.6 cm is melted and solid cones each of radius 2.8 cm and height 3.2 cm are made. Find the number of such cones formed.



Answer -

Let the number ofcones made be n

Given,

Radius of metallicsphere = 5.6 cm

Radius of the cone =2.8 cm

Height of the cone =3.2 cm

We know that,

Volume of a sphere =4/3 π × r3

So, V1 =4/3 π × 5.63

And,

Volume of cone = 1/3 π× r2 × h

V2 =1/3 π × 2.82 × 3.2

Thus, the number ofcones (n) = Volume of the sphere/ Volume of the cone

n = 4/3 π × 5.63 /(1/3 π × 2.82 × 3.2)

n = (4 x 5.63)/(2.82 × 3.2)

n = 28

Therefore, 28 suchcones can be formed.
