1000 solid spherical balls each of radius 0.6 cm are melted and recast into a single spherical ball. What is the surface area (in cm2) of ball so formed?
1000 solid spherical balls each of radius 0.6 cm are melted and recast into a single spherical ball. What is the surface area (in cm2) of ball so formed? Correct Answer 144 π
Let radius of smaller ball, r = 0.6cm
Volume of 1000 smaller ball = 1000 × (4/3) × π × r3 = 1000 × (4/3) × π × r3
Let radius of bigger ball be R
According to the question
(4/3) × π × R3 = 1000 × (4/3) × π × r3
⇒ R3 = 1000 × (0.6)3
⇒ R = 10 × 0.6
⇒ R = 6 cm
∴ Total surface area of bigger ball = 4πr2 = 4 × π × (6)2 = 144π
