In a cylindrical beaker with a diameter of 2.5 cm, filled with water to a certain level, 4 equal metal balls with a diameter of 1 cm are lowered. How much will the water level in the beaker change?
Let us designate the initial water level as h cm, and the water level after immersion of the balls is equal to H cm.
Let’s determine the volume of the ball immersed in water.
Vball = 4 * π * (D / 2) ^ 3/3 = 4 * π * (1/8) / 3 = π / 6 cm3.
Then the volume of the four balls is: V = 4 * Vball = 2 * π / 3 cm3.
The volume of the displaced liquid is equal to the volume of the submerged balls.
Vв.ж. = (H – h) * π * (D / 2) ^ 2 = (H – h) * π * 6.25 / 4 cm3.
Then:
2 * π / 3 = (H – h) * π * 6.25 / 4.
(H – h) = 8 / 18.75 = 32/75 cm.
Answer: The level will change by 32/75 cm.
