Case Study Questions
Question 1:
Nakul was doing an experiment to find the radius r of a ball. For this he took a cylindrical container with radius R = 7 cm and height 10 cm. He filled the container almost half by water as shown in the figure-1. Now he dropped the ball into the container as in figure-2.
He observed that in figure-2, the water level in the container raised from P to Q i.e, to 3.4 cm.
