Question:

A cylindrical vessel of radius $4\text{ cm}$ contains water. A solid sphere of radius $3\text{ cm}$ is lowered into the water until it is completely immersed. The rise in water level in the vessel is:
(a) $2.25\text{ cm}$
(b) $4.5\text{ cm}$
(c) $3.0\text{ cm}$
(d) $1.5\text{ cm}$

Step-by-Step Solution

Key Concept: $\pi (4)^2 h = \dfrac{4}{3} \pi (3)^3 \Rightarrow 16 h = 36 \Rightarrow h = 2.25\text{ cm}$.
$16 h = 36 \Rightarrow h = 2.25\text{ cm}$. [1.0 Mark]
