View full question & answer→Two side spheres made of the same matal have weights $5920g$ and $740g,$
respectively.Mass per unit volume is called the density.
Density (D) $=\frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}\ \ $
$\Rightarrow\ \ \text{Volume}=\frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Density}}$
Here density is same because the spheres are of same matal.
$\therefore\ \ \frac{\text{V}_1}{\text{V}_1}=\frac{\frac{5920}{\text{D}}}{\frac{740}{\text{D}}}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\frac{4}{3}\pi\text{r}^3_1}{\frac{4}{3}\pi\text{r}^3_2}=\frac{5920}{740}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{r}^3_1}{\text{r}^3_1}=\frac{5920}{740}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{r}^3_1}{\Big(\frac{5}{2}\Big)^3}=\frac{5920}{740}\ \ \ [\because\text{r}_2=\frac{1}{2}\times5]$
$\Rightarrow\text{r}^3_1=\frac{5920}{740}\times\frac{125}{8}=125$
$\Rightarrow\text{r}_1=(125)^{\frac{1}{3}}=5\text{cm}$
Hence, the radius of the larger sphere $= 5cm.$
