Step-by-step solution

4 steps

Here's how to determine the rise in the water level:

  1. Calculate the volume of the spherical ball.

    The volume of a sphere is given by the formula Vsphere=43πr3V_{sphere} = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3.
    Given the radius of the spherical ball r=1.5 cmr = 1.5\, \text{cm}:

    Vsphere=43π(1.5 cm)3V_{sphere} = \frac{4}{3} \pi (1.5\, \text{cm})^3 Vsphere=43π(3.375 cm3)V_{sphere} = \frac{4}{3} \pi (3.375\, \text{cm}^3) Vsphere=4.5π cm3V_{sphere} = 4.5 \pi\, \text{cm}^3
  2. Relate the volume of the sphere to the rise in water level in the cylindrical tin.

    When the spherical ball is immersed, it displaces a volume of water equal to its own volume. This displaced water causes the water level in the cylindrical tin to rise.
    Let hh be the rise in the water level. The volume of this rise is a cylinder with the radius of the tin and height hh.
    The volume of a cylinder is given by the formula Vcylinder=πR2hV_{cylinder} = \pi R^2 h.
    Given the radius of the cylindrical tin R=1.8 cmR = 1.8\, \text{cm}:

    Vrise=π(1.8 cm)2hV_{rise} = \pi (1.8\, \text{cm})^2 h Vrise=π(3.24 cm2)hV_{rise} = \pi (3.24\, \text{cm}^2) h
  3. Equate the volumes and solve for hh.

    The volume of the sphere is equal to the volume of the water rise:

    Vsphere=VriseV_{sphere} = V_{rise} 4.5π cm3=3.24π cm2h4.5 \pi\, \text{cm}^3 = 3.24 \pi\, \text{cm}^2 h

    Divide both sides by π\pi:

    4.5 cm3=3.24 cm2h4.5\, \text{cm}^3 = 3.24\, \text{cm}^2 h

    Solve for hh:

    h=4.5 cm33.24 cm2h = \frac{4.5\, \text{cm}^3}{3.24\, \text{cm}^2} h≈1.3888... cmh \approx 1.3888... \, \text{cm}
  4. Round the answer to one decimal place.

    h≈1.4 cmh \approx 1.4\, \text{cm}

    The rise in the water level in the tin is 1.4 cm\text{1.4 cm}.
