A spherical cannon ball, 28 cm in diameter is melted and recast into a right circular conical mould, base of which is 35 cm in diameter. Find the height of the cone.

Answer»

Radius of cannon ball = 14 cm

Volume of cannon ball = 4/3 πr3 = 4/3 π(14)3

Radius of Cone = 35/2 cm

Volume of Cone = 1/3 πr2 h = 1/3 π(35/2)2 h

Let h be the height of the cone.

From statement:

Volume of cannon ball = Volume of Cone

⇨ 4/3 π (14)3 

= 1/3 π(35/2)2 h

h = 35.84

Therefore, height of the cone is 35.84 cm.
