Question

A shotput is a metallic sphere of radius 49 cm If the density of the metal is 78 g per cmsup3sup find the mass of the shotput

Accepted Answer

Solution The capacity of a sphere is its volume It is the area that the sphere occupies The sphere has a round threedimensional shape Its shape is determined by three axes the x y and z axes Given radius of the metallic sphere r 49 cm Volume of the sphere V 43 rsup3sup V 4322749sup3sup V 493005 V 493 cmsup3sup approx Given Density 78 g per cmsup3sup Density Mass Volume Mass DensityVolume 78493 38454 g Hence the mass of the shot put is 38454 g
