Question 17

A cylindrical vessel of radius 4 cm contains water. A solid sphere of 3 cm radius is lowered into the water until it is completely immersed . The water level in the vessel will rise by :

Solution

The volume of the sphere = $$\dfrac{4}{3}\times\ \pi\ \times\ \left(3\right)^3=36\pi\ $$

Now, the water level will increase equal to the volume of the sphere. 

Let the water level increasing by h cm.

Therefore, $$36\pi\ =\pi\ \times\ \left(4\right)^2\times h$$

$$h=\dfrac{9}{4}$$
