A sphere of radius $5\ cm$ is immersed in water filled in a cylinder, the level of water rises $\frac{5}{3}\ cm$. Find the radius of the cylinder.
Given:
A sphere of radius $5\ cm$ is immersed in water filled in a cylinder, the level of water rises $\frac{5}{3}\ cm$.
To do:
We have to find the radius of the cylinder.
Solution:
Radius of sphere $(r_1) = 5\ cm$
This implies,
Volume of the sphere $=\frac{4}{3} \pi r_{1}^{3}$
$=\frac{4}{3} \pi(5)^{3}$
$=\frac{500}{3} \pi \mathrm{cm}^{3}$
Height of the water level $=\frac{5}{3}\ cm$
Let $r$ be the radius of the cylinder.
Therefore,
Volume of water $=$ Volume of the sphere
$\pi r^{2} h=\frac{500}{3} \pi$
$\pi r^{2} \times \frac{5}{3}=\frac{500}{3} \pi$
$r^{2}=\frac{500}{3} \times \frac{3}{5}$
$r^2=100$
$r^2=(10)^{2}$
$\Rightarrow r=10$
Hence, the radius of the cylinder is $10 \mathrm{~cm}$.
