Solution
Given that radius of a cylindrical jar(r) = 6cm
Depth/height of cylindrical jar (h) = 2cm
Let no of balls be ‘n’
Volume of a cylinder = πr2h
V1`=22/7xx(6)^2xx2cm^3` ..........(1)
Radius of sphere 1.5cm
So volume of sphere`=4/3pir^3`
`V^2 = 4/3xx22/7(1.5)^3cm^3` .........(2)
Volume of cylindrical jar is equal to sum of volume of n spheres
Equating (1) and (2)
`22/7xx(6)^2xx2=nxx4/3xx22/4(1.5)^3`
`n=(v_1)/(v_2)`⇒ `n=(22/7xx(6)^2xx2)/(4/3xx22/7(1.5)^3`
n = 16
∴ No of spherical balls (n) = 16
