Q15 of 27 Page 1

12 solid spheres of the same radii are made by melting a solid metallic cylinder of base diameter 2cm and height 16cm. Find the diameter of each sphere.

Let the radius and the height of the cylinder be R and H respectively, and the radius of the spheres be r.


πR2H = 12 × 4/3 πr3


1 × 1 x 16 = 4/3 × r3 × 12


r3 = 1


r = 1


d = 2cm
