Solution

Diameter of marble = 1.4 cm
radius = 1.4/2 = 0.7 cm
volume of 1 marble = 4 over 3 πr cubed equals 4 over 3 straight pi open parentheses 0.7 close parentheses cubed
let number of marbles required = n

base diameter of beaker = 7cm
radius = 7/2 = 3.5 cm
height rise in water = 5.6 cm

volume change = volume of n marbles
πr squared straight h equals straight n 4 over 3 straight pi left parenthesis 0.7 right parenthesis cubedleft parenthesis 3.5 right parenthesis squared 5.6 equals straight n 4 over 3 left parenthesis 0.7 right parenthesis cubedstraight n equals 150
