Diameter of metallic sphere D=28 cm
Diameter of circular base of smaller cone d=432 cm=314 cm
Hight of cone h=3 cm
Hence,
Radius of metallic sphere R=2D=14 cm
Radius of circular base of smaller cone r=2d=37 cm
Volume of metallic sphere V=34πR^3
=34×722×(14)3 cm3
=34×722×(14)3 cm^3
=2188×2744 cm^3
=88×130.667 cm^3
.
Volume of metallic sphere V=11498.667 cm^3
Volume of one cone v=31π r^2 h
=31×722×(37)2×3 cm^3
=2166×(949) cm^3
Volume of one cone=17.111 cm^3
Number of cones formed n=Volume of one cone (v)Volume of sphere(V)
n=11498.667 cm^3 /17.111 cm^3
n=672
Hence the solid sphere can be melted in 672 smaller cones .
