Given dimensions of the box = 16 cm ×8 cm ×8 cm
So volume of the box = lbh = 16×8×8 = 1024 cm3
Radius of the glass sphere, r = 2 cm
Volume of the sphere = (4/3)r3
= (4/3)×(22/7)×23
= 4×22×8/(3×7)
= 704/21
Volume of 16 spheres = 16×704/21 = 11264/21 = 536.38 cm3
Volume of water filled in the box = Volume of the box – Volume of 16 spheres
= 1024 – 536.38
= 487.62 cm3
Hence the volume of the water filled in the box is 487.62 cm3.
