Solution
The radius of spherical ball = 3 cm.
Volume of spherical ball = `4/3` πr3
= `4/3` π × 3 × 3 × 3
= 36 π cm3
∵ Volume of a spherical ball = Total volume of three small spherical balls
∵ The radii of the balls are 1.5 cm and 2 cm.
∴ Let the radius of the third ball = r
∴ Volume of a spherical ball = Total volume of three small spherical balls.
36π = `4/3π (3/2)^3 + 4/3 π (2)^3 + 4/3 π r^3`
36π = `4/3π xx 27/8 + 4/3 π xx 8 + 4/3 π r^3`
36π = `4/3π ( 27/8 + 8 + r^3 )`
`(36π xx 3)/(4π)`
= `27/8 + 8 + r^3`
27 = `(27 + 64)/8 + r^3`
27 = `91/8 + r^3`
`27 - 91/8 = r^3`
`(216 - 91)/8 = r^3`
`125/8 = r^3`
r = `root(3)(125/8)`
r = `5/2` cm.
The diameter of the third ball = 2r = 2 x `5/2` = 5 cm.
