The correct Answer is:
To solve the given problems step by step, we will break them down into two parts as mentioned in the question. ### Part (i): Finding the Length of the Wire 1. **Calculate the Volume of the Sphere:** The formula for the volume \( V \) of a sphere is given by: \[ V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \] Here, the radius \( r \) of the sphere is 3 cm. \[ V = \frac{4}{3} \pi (3)^3 = \frac{4}{3} \pi (27) = 36\pi \, \text{cm}^3 \] 2. **Calculate the Radius of the Wire:** The diameter of the wire is given as 0.4 cm, so the radius \( r \) of the wire is: \[ r = \frac{0.4}{2} = 0.2 \, \text{cm} \] 3. **Set Up the Volume of the Cylinder (Wire):** The volume \( V \) of the cylinder (wire) is given by: \[ V = \pi r^2 h \] where \( h \) is the height (or length) of the wire. We know the volume of the sphere is equal to the volume of the wire: \[ 36\pi = \pi (0.2)^2 h \] 4. **Solve for the Height (Length of the Wire):** Simplifying the equation: \[ 36 = (0.2)^2 h \] \[ 36 = 0.04 h \] \[ h = \frac{36}{0.04} = 900 \, \text{cm} \] 5. **Convert Length to Meters:** Since 1 meter = 100 cm, \[ h = \frac{900}{100} = 9 \, \text{m} \] ### Part (ii): Finding the Number of Small Spheres 1. **Calculate the Volume of the Large Sphere:** The radius of the iron ball is 4 cm. Using the volume formula: \[ V_1 = \frac{4}{3} \pi (4)^3 = \frac{4}{3} \pi (64) = \frac{256}{3} \pi \, \text{cm}^3 \] 2. **Calculate the Volume of the Small Sphere:** The radius of the small sphere is 2 cm. Using the volume formula: \[ V_2 = \frac{4}{3} \pi (2)^3 = \frac{4}{3} \pi (8) = \frac{32}{3} \pi \, \text{cm}^3 \] 3. **Find the Number of Small Spheres:** To find how many small spheres can be formed from the large sphere, we divide the volume of the large sphere by the volume of a small sphere: \[ \text{Number of small spheres} = \frac{V_1}{V_2} = \frac{\frac{256}{3} \pi}{\frac{32}{3} \pi} = \frac{256}{32} = 8 \] ### Final Answers: (i) The length of the wire is **9 meters**. (ii) The number of small spheres that can be formed is **8**. ---
