A cube, of side $4\ cm$, contains a sphere touching its sides. Find the volume of the gap in between.
Given:
A cube, of side $4\ cm$, contains a sphere touching its sides.
To do:
We have to find the volume of the gap in between.
Solution:
Side of the cube $= 4\ cm$
This implies,
Volume of the cube $= 4^3$
$= 64\ cm^3$
Diameter of the largest sphere touching its sides $= 4\ cm$
This implies,
Radius of the sphere $=\frac{4}{2}$
$=2 \mathrm{~cm}$
Therefore,
Volume of the sphere $=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}$
$=\frac{4}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 2 \times 2 \times 2$
$=\frac{704}{21} \mathrm{~cm}^{3}$
The difference between their volumes $=64-\frac{704}{21}$
$=\frac{1344-704}{21}$
$=\frac{640}{21}$
$=30.48 \mathrm{~cm}^{3}$
