A sphere of radius 3 cm is dropped into a cylindrical vessel partly filled with water. The radius of the vessel is 6 cm. If the sphere is submerged completely. Then the surface of the water is raised by.1. 1 cm2. 2 cm3. 3 cm4. 4 cm

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 1 cm

Given:

Radius of sphere = 3 cm 

Radius of cylinder = 6 cm

Concept:

Volume of cylinder = πr2H

Volume of sphere = (4/3)πR

Where, 

r → Radius of the cylinder 

H → Height of the cylinder 

R → Radius of the sphere

When the sphere is submerged then,

The volume of sphere = Volume of cylinder

Calculation:

The volume of sphere = Volume of cylinder 

⇒ (4/3) × π × (3)3 = π × (6)2 × H

⇒ H = (36/36)

⇒ H = 1 cm

⇒ The surface of the water is raised = 1 cm

∴ The surface of the water is raised by 1cm
