Question 1 Report

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?

Answer Details

1 3 ( 1 2 ) 2
=  4 3
=  3 3
=  4 3 3
m = 64kg, V =  4 π r 3 3
=  4 π ( 4 ) 3 3
=  256 π 3  x 10-6m3
density(P) =  Mass Volume
=  64 256 π 3 × 10 − 6
=  64 × 3 × 10 − 6 256
=  3 4 × 10 − 6
m = PV =  3 4 π × 10 − 6  x  4 3   π [32 - 22] x 10-6
3 4 × 10 − 6  x  4 3  x 5 x 10-6
= 5kg
