A solid sphere of radius 4cm has a mass of 64kg. What will be the mass of a shell of the same metal whose internal and external radii are 2cm and 3cm respectively?

5kg

16kg

19kg

6kg

Answer Details

$\frac{1 \sqrt{3}}{(\frac{1}{2})^{2}}$
= $\frac{4}{\sqrt{3}}$
= $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}$
= $\frac{4 \sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}$
m = 64kg, V = $\frac{4 π r^{3}}{3}$
= $\frac{4 π (4)^{3}}{3}$
= $\frac{256 π}{3}$ x 10-6m3
density(P) = $\frac{Mass}{Volume}$
= $\frac{64}{\frac{256 π}{3 \times 10^{- 6}}}$
= $\frac{64 \times 3 \times 10^{- 6}}{256}$
= $\frac{3}{4 \times 10^{- 6}}$
m = PV = $\frac{3}{4 π \times 10^{- 6}}$ x $\frac{4}{3}$ $π$ [32 - 22] x 10-6
$\frac{3}{4 \times 10^{- 6}}$ x $\frac{4}{3}$ x 5 x 10-6
= 5kg
