  1. Given data,

    Diameter of cannon ball = 28 cm

    Radius of the cannon ball = 14 cm

    Let h be the height of cone.

    Then

    volume of conical mould = volume of spherical cannon ball

    1/3π(35/2)2 h = 4/3π(14)3

    ∴ h = 4 × 14 × 14 × 14 × 2 × 2/35 × 35

    = 896/25

    = 35.84 cm.
