Solution
Let the number of cones melted be n.
Let the radius of sphere be rs = 6 cm
Radius of cone be rc = 2 cm
And height of the cone be h = 3 cm
Volume of sphere = n ...(Volume of a metallic cone)
`=> 4/3 pir_s^3 = n(1/3 pir_c^2h)`
`=> 4/3 pir_s^3 = n(1/3 pir_c^2h)`
`=> (4r_s^3)/(r_c^2h) = n`
`=> n = (4(6)^3)/((2)^2(3))`
`=> n = (4 xx 216)/(4 xx 3)`
`=>` n = 72
Hence, the number of cones is 72.
