Calcualte the volume of the air in a tube with 3 tennis ball whose radius is 2.7 cm, knowing that the walls of the tube touch the balls, so as the base and the cap.
2) Find the volumen of the tube without balls:
i) Formula for the volume of a cylinder V = π × r² × h, where r is the radius of the cylinder and h is the height.
Here r = radius of a ball = 2.7 in, and h = diameter of 3 balls = 3×2.7in × 2 = 16.2 in
ii) Volume of the tube = π (2.7in)² (16.2in) = 371.02 in³
iii) Formula for the volume of a bal (a sphere) : V = (4/3) π r³
iv) Volume of one ball = (4/3)π (2.7in)³ = 82.45 in³
v) Volume of 3 balls = 3×82.42in³ = 247.35 in³
vi) Volume of air bettween the tennis ball and the can = volume of the tube - volume of the 3 balls = 371.02 in³ - 247.35 in³ = 123.67 in³
