A cylindrical vessel of radius 4 cm. contains water. A solid sphere of radius 3 cm. is dipped into the water until it is completely immersed. The water level in the vessel will rise by
-
- 3.5 cm.
- 2.25 cm.
- 2 cm.
- 3.8 cm.
- 3.5 cm.
Correct Option: B
If the rise in water level be h cm., then
πr²h = | πR³ | |
3 |
where r = radius of cylindrical vessel,
R = radius of solid sphere
⇒ 4² × h = | × (3)³ | |
3 |
⇒ h = | = | ||
4 × 4 | 4 |
= 2.25 cm.
