Question:A cylindrical vessel `60` cm in diameter is partially water. A sphere `30` cm is diameter into it. The increase in the level of water in the vessel is :
A `2 cm`
B `3 cm`
C `4 cm`
D `5 cm`
/113
+ Answer
D
+ ExplanationLet h and H be the heights of water level before and after dropping the sphere. Then,
`[π xx (30)^2 xx H] - [π xx (30)^2 xx h]`
`= 4/3 π xx (15^3`
`900 π (H -h)`
`= 4500 π or (H - h)`
`= 5 cm.`
