In a cylindrical vessel of diameter 24 cm, filled up with sufficient quantity of water, a solid spherical ball of radius 6 cm is completely immersed. Find the increase in height of water level.

Open in App

Solution

Radius of spherical ball r = 6 cm, radius of cylindrical vessel r₁ = 12 cm

Since, the ball completely immersed into the vessel, the water level is increased.

Let the height of increased level.

Therefore,

The volume of increase water level = volume of ball

Hence, the level of water increased by 2 cm.
