Answer:

The formula for the volume of a sphere is:

V = (4/3)πr^3

where V is the volume and r is the radius.

We know that the volume is 14130 m^3, so we can plug this into the formula:

14130 = (4/3)πr^3

To solve for r, we can divide both sides by (4/3)π and then take the cube root:

r^3 = (3/4) * (14130 / π)

r^3 ≈ 4241.67

r ≈ 15.73

Rounding to the nearest whole number, we get:

r ≈ 16

Therefore, the radius of the sphere is approximately 16 meters.
