How many spherical lead shots each of diameter $ 4.2 \mathrm{~cm} $ can be obtained from a solid rectangular lead piece with dimensions $ 66 \mathrm{~cm} \times 42 \mathrm{~cm} \times 21 \mathrm{~cm} $.
Given:
Diameter of each spherical lead shot $=4.2\ cm$
Dimensions of solid rectangular lead piece are \( 66 \mathrm{~cm} \times 42 \mathrm{~cm} \times 21 \mathrm{~cm} \).
To do:
We have to find the number of spherical lead shots that can be obtained.
Solution:
Radius of each spherical lead $=\frac{4.2}{2}\ cm$
$=2.1\ cm$
This implies,
Volume of each spherical lead $= \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$
$=\frac{4}{3} \pi \times (2.1)^{3}$
$=\frac{4\pi}{3} \times 2.1 \times 2.1 \times 2.1$
Volume of the solid rectangular lead piece $=lbh$
$=66\times42\times21$
Number of spherical lead shots that can be obtained $=\frac{\text { Volume of the solid rectangular lead piece }}{\text { Volume of each spherical lead }}$
$=\frac{66\times42\times21}{\frac{4\pi}{3} \times 2.1 \times 2.1 \times 2.1}$
$=3\times2\times250$
$=6\times250$
$=1500$
The number of spherical lead shots that can be obtained is 1500.
