The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution #### Part (i) 1. **Identify the given values**: - Radius of the metallic sphere, \( R = 3 \) cm. - Diameter of the wire, \( d = 0.4 \) cm. Therefore, the radius of the wire, \( r = \frac{d}{2} = \frac{0.4}{2} = 0.2 \) cm. 2. **Calculate the volume of the sphere**: - The formula for the volume of a sphere is given by: \[ V = \frac{4}{3} \pi R^3 \] - Substituting the value of \( R \): \[ V = \frac{4}{3} \pi (3)^3 = \frac{4}{3} \pi (27) = 36 \pi \text{ cm}^3 \] 3. **Calculate the volume of the wire (cylinder)**: - The volume of a cylinder is given by: \[ V = \pi r^2 h \] - Here, \( h \) is the length of the wire, which we need to find. Setting the volume of the sphere equal to the volume of the wire: \[ 36 \pi = \pi (0.2)^2 h \] 4. **Simplify and solve for \( h \)**: - Cancel \( \pi \) from both sides: \[ 36 = (0.2)^2 h \] - Calculate \( (0.2)^2 = 0.04 \): \[ 36 = 0.04 h \] - Now, solve for \( h \): \[ h = \frac{36}{0.04} = 900 \text{ cm} \] 5. **Convert the length to meters**: - Since \( 1 \text{ m} = 100 \text{ cm} \): \[ h = \frac{900}{100} = 9 \text{ m} \] #### Final Answer for Part (i): The length of the wire is **9 meters**. --- #### Part (ii) 1. **Identify the given values**: - Radius of the iron ball, \( R = 4 \) cm. - Radius of the small spheres, \( r = 2 \) cm. 2. **Calculate the volume of the iron ball**: - Using the volume formula for a sphere: \[ V_1 = \frac{4}{3} \pi R^3 \] - Substituting the value of \( R \): \[ V_1 = \frac{4}{3} \pi (4)^3 = \frac{4}{3} \pi (64) = \frac{256}{3} \pi \text{ cm}^3 \] 3. **Calculate the volume of one small sphere**: - Using the same volume formula: \[ V_2 = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \] - Substituting the value of \( r \): \[ V_2 = \frac{4}{3} \pi (2)^3 = \frac{4}{3} \pi (8) = \frac{32}{3} \pi \text{ cm}^3 \] 4. **Calculate the number of small spheres**: - The number of small spheres that can be formed is given by: \[ \text{Number of spheres} = \frac{V_1}{V_2} \] - Substituting the volumes: \[ \text{Number of spheres} = \frac{\frac{256}{3} \pi}{\frac{32}{3} \pi} \] - The \( \pi \) and \( \frac{1}{3} \) cancel out: \[ \text{Number of spheres} = \frac{256}{32} = 8 \] #### Final Answer for Part (ii): The number of small spheres that can be formed is **8**. ---
