The diameter of a solid metallic right circular cylinder is equal to its height. After cutting out the largest possible solid sphere SSS from the cylinder, the remaining material is recast to form a solid sphere S1S1S1. What is the ratio of the radius of the sphere SSS to that of sphere S1?S1?S1?
Answer:
3√2:13√2:13√2:1
- Given, the diameter of the cylinder === height of the cylinder

We need to know the formula for calculating the volume of a cylinder and the volume of a sphere for this question. - The volume of a cylinder with radius rr and height [Math Processing Error]
Volume of the given cylinder =2πr3 [ Using equation (1)]=2πr3 [ Using equation (1)] - The radius sphere [Math Processing Error]
The volume of the sphere S=43πr3S=43πr3
Therefore, the volume of the remaining material =2πr3−43πr3=23πr3=2πr3−43πr3=23πr3 - The remaining material is recast to form a solid sphere S1.S1.
Let the radius of S1=r1S1=r1
The volume of S1=23πr3S1=23πr3
- [Math Processing Error]
- Therefore, the required ratio is 3√2:1.3√2:1.
