Answer:
The mass of the steel ball is 4,235.9 gr
Step-by-step explanation:
Density
The density ρ of a substance is a measure of its mass per unit volume:
[tex]\displaystyle \rho=\frac{m}{V}[/tex]
If the density and the volume are given, the mass can be calculated by solving the above formula for m:
[tex]m=\rho.V[/tex]
We know the density of pure steel ρ=8.09 gr/cm3 and the diameter of a solid steel ball d=10 cm.
We need to calculate the volume of the sphere:
The volume of a sphere of radius r is given by:
[tex]\displaystyle V=\frac{4}{3}\cdot \pi\cdot r^3[/tex]
The radius is half the diameter: r= 10/2 = 5 cm. Thus:
[tex]\displaystyle V=\frac{4}{3}\cdot \pi\cdot 5^3[/tex]
Calculating:
[tex]V=523.6\ cm^3[/tex]
The mass is:
[tex]m=8.09 gr/cm^3 \cdot 523.6\ cm^3[/tex]
m=4,235.9 gr
The mass of the steel ball is 4,235.9 gr
