Question

Find the number of steel ball bearings, each of diameter 0.7 cm, that can be made from 1kg of steel, given that 1cm cubed of steel weighs 7.8 g​

Answer 1

Ball Bearing Volume = (4 / 3) * PI * radius ^3

Volume = (4 / 3) * 3.14159265 * (.35)^3

Volume = (4 / 3) * 3.14159265 * 0.042875

Volume = 0.17959438 cc

1 cc of steel = 7.8 g

Volume of 1 kg of steel = 1,000 cc / 7.8 g per cc

1 kg = 128.205 cc

Number of ball bearings we can make = 128.205 / 0.17959438

Equals 713.86
