A solid metallic sphere of radius 8 cm is melted and recast into spherical balls each of radius 2 cm. Find the number of spherical balls obtained.
Twenty-seven spherical solid metallic balls are melted to form some cylindrical rods. The radii of the rods are the same as those of the spherical balls.
If the height of a rod is twice its radius, then how many cylindrical metallic rods can be made from the spherical balls?
