Solution
No. of cones = 504
Diameter of a cone = 3.5 cm
Radius of the cone, r = 1.75 cm
Height of the cone, h = 3 cm
Volume of a cone
`=1/3pir^2h`
`=1/3xxpixx(3.5/2)^2xx3`
`=1/3xxpixx3.5/2xx3.5/2xx3 " cm"^2`
Volume of 504 cones
`=504xx1/3xxpixx3.5/2xx3.5/2xx3 " cm"^2`
Let the radius of the new sphere be ‘R’.
Volume of the sphere `=4/3 pir^3 `
Volume of 504 cones = Volume of the sphere
`504xx1/3xxpixx3.5/2xx3.5/2xx3=4/3 piR^3`
`(504xx1xxpixx3.5xx3.5xx3xx3)/(3xx2xx2xx4xxpi)=R^3`
`R^3=(504xx3xx49)/64`
`R^3=(8xx27xx7^3)/64`
`R=(2xx3xx7)/4`
`R=21/2=10.5 cm`
Radius of the new sphere = 10.5 cm
