A glass jar has the shape of a straight circular cylinder with an inner radius of 26mm and an inner height of 48mm. How many drops of water with a radius of 2 mm must fall into the jar for it to be full? We assume that the drops are spherical.

Respuesta :

3042 droplets of water with a radius of 2 mm must fall into the jar to be full.

Given,

A glass jar has the shape of a straight circular cylinder.

- inner radius of 26mm.

- inner height of 48mm.

Water droplets

- radius of 2 mm

We need to find how many droplets of water are needed to fill the jar full.

We assume that the drops are spherical.

What is the volume of a cylinder and a sphere?

The volume of the cylinder = [tex]\pi[/tex] r²h

The volume of the sphere = 4/3 [tex]\pi[/tex] r³

We have,

Glass jar = straight circular cylinder

Drops of water = sphere

In order to fill the cylindrical shape jar with droplets of water the volume of water droplets must be equal to the volume of the jar.

The volume of the jar:

r = 26 mm

h = 48 mm

= [tex]\pi[/tex] r²h

= [tex]\pi[/tex] 26² 48

= [tex]\pi[/tex] x 676 x 48

= 32448[tex]\pi[/tex]

The volume of the droplets of water:

r = 2 mm

= 4/3 [tex]\pi[/tex] r³

= 4/3 x [tex]\pi[/tex] x 2³

= 4/3 x [tex]\pi[/tex] x 8

= 32/3[tex]\pi[/tex]

We see that,

D x 32/3[tex]\pi[/tex] = 32448[tex]\pi[/tex]

Where D is the number of droplets.

Finding D value.

D x 32/3[tex]\pi[/tex] = 32448[tex]\pi[/tex]

D = (32448 x 3)/ 32

D = 3042

Thus 3042 droplets of water with a radius of 2 mm must fall into the jar to be full.
