Let the total number of balls be x
Volume of the solid sphere =[4/3] πr³
= [4/3] π * 3³
= 36π
Radius of spherical ball = 0.6/2 = 0.3 cm
Volume of a spherical ball =[4/3] πr³
= [4/3] * π * [0.3]³
= 36π / 1000
Volume of x spherical balls = 36π / 1000
Volume of the solid spheres = volume of x spherical balls
36π = [36π / 1000] * x
x=1000
∴ 1000 spherical balls are obtained by melting the given solid sphere.
