The diagram shows the cross-section of eight identical iron balls touching each other on a horizontal surface.

If the volume of a ball is `(9pi)/(2)cm^(3)`, then what should be the minimum length and depth of a box so that all the balls can be placed in it ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Volume of each ball `=(4)/(3)pi r^(3)`
`therefore (4)/(3)pi r^(3)=(9pi)/(2)` (given)
`therefore r^(3)=(27)/(8) rArr r = (3)/(2)` (taking cube root)
`therefore` Diameter of each ball = 3 cm
`therefore` Length `AB=8xx` diameter of ball `=8xx3=24 cm`
and depth of box = diameter of ball = 3 cm.
So, minimum length and depth of box should be 24 cm and 3 cm respectively.

Some identical balls are arranged in rows to form an equilateral triangle. The first row consists of one ball, the second row consists of row balls and so on. If 99 more identical balls are added to the total number of balls used in forming the equilateral triangle, then all these balls can be arranged in a square whose each side contains exactly 2 balls less than the number of balls each side of the triangle contains. Then, the number of balls used to form the equilateral triangle is
