View Full Version : Need help with physics question
I'm really bad at physics and need help with the following question:
Two spheres are cut from a certain uniform rock. One has radius 4.95 cm. The mass of the other is seven times greater. Find its radius.
The average density of an object is:
\rho = \frac{m}{V}
Where m is mass and V is volume
The volume of a sphere is:
V = \frac{4\pi}{3} r^3
Where r is the radius.
These are the only two formulas you need.
Does this look familiar?
\frac {R_1}{R_2} = \left(\frac{M_1}{M_2}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}
Alright, well I got a volume of 508.05 for the sphere with a radius of 4.95, but still not exactly sure of where to go from here.
Okay, nevermind, I got the answer at 9.469
