by what factor would you need to change the radius of a sphere, such that its volume increased by a factor of 7? give your answer to two digits.

Answer :

The factor by which radius of the sphere be changed is 1.91, which is calculated hy applying the concepts of surface area and volume on the assigned problem.

What do you mean by volume?

Volume is defined as the 3D measurement that deals with the amount of space required by an object. It is always calculated in cubic units. Its basic unit is cubic metre.

Calculation of the change in radius of sphere when its volume is increased by 7

Let the radius and volume of sphere be r and v respectively

Volume of sphere, v = 3.16 × ( r )3            —- 1

Now, changed radius, R = xr

Where x is the factor, we need to calculate

Changed volume, V = 7v = 3.16 × ( R )3          -— 2

From equations 1 and 2, we get,

7v / v = ( R )3 / ( r )3

7 = ( xr )3 / ( r )3

7 = (x)3 × 1

Taking cube root both sides,

x = 1.913

Hence, the factor by which radius of the sphere be changed is 1.91.
