one, if its a perfect sphere the radius will be constant whereever you measure it
It depends on the information you have. You could put the sphere on a flat surface and lower a horizontal plane onto it so that it just touches the top of the sphere. The distance between the flat surface and the horizontal plane is the sphere's diameter; the radius is half that. Or you could measure its volume by measuring the amount of fluid (water) that it displaces in a measuring container or the overflow from any full container. Then use the formula V = 4/3*pi*R3 to work out the radius. If you knew the density of the material of the sphere, you could measure its mass and work out its volume that way.
We can't say how many degrees there are in a sphere, any more than we can say how many feet there are in an acre. Feet are a measure of length, and an acre is an area, not a length. You can't measure an area with a tape measure. Likewise, degrees are a measure of an angle; you can sweep out a circle by swinging a line through an angle of 360 degrees. But you can't sweep out a sphere by swinging a line through some angle, so angle measure won't do to measure a sphere.
calculate the volume using the formula: Vsphere = (4/3)*pi*r^3 then calculate density by Density = Mass/Volume
measure the radius of the sphere and apply the appropriate volume equation: V= (4/3) x (pi) x r3
Measure the diameter and from that calculate the volume, then determine the mass of the sphere on a weighing device. Then it's just density = mass/volume ========================== It again depends on the sphere whether its hollow or its a solid sphere
you have to divide the mass by the volume then measure the ends then you found your answer
a gold sphere
how do you find the mass of a sphere Volume x density => 4/3(pi)(r)3 x density
Divide its mass by its volume.
The mass of a sphere is 4/3*pi*r3*d where r is the radius of the sphere and d is the density of the material of the sphere.
You have to cut the sphere in half and then measure across.
mass over volume
The density of lead is well known; you can look it up in any reference book on chemistry, or on the Internet. It is 11.34 grams per cubic centimeter, according to Wikipedia. But if you have a sphere that is only part lead, you can get the density of the sphere by weighing it, and dividing the weight by its volume. The volume of a sphere is 4/3 x pi x r ^ 3, where r is the radius of the sphere.
Density = Mass/Volume, whatever the shape. So, if the masses are the same, the density is greater when the volume id smaller. Thus the sphere, with the smaller volume has the greater density.
Hydrometer measure the density of liquids.
Density = mass / volume. You have the density of aluminum and the mass of the aluminum sphere. The volume of a sphere is 4/3*Pi*r^3. Therefore volume = 4/3*Pi*r^3 = mass / density. Solve for r, which is the radius of the sphere.
