Canister holds 3 tennis balls the diameter of the balls is the same as the diameter of the cylinder 6 cm how much space in the cylinder is not taken?

Since 3 tennis balls fit in the cylinder, the height of the cylinder is 3 * the diameter of a tennis ball

Volume of Sphere = 4/3 * Π radius^3

Volume of Cylinder = height * Π radius^2

The diameter of a tennis ball is 6 cm

The radius is 3 cm.

Volume of 3 balls = 3* 4/3 * Π * radius^3

Volume of 3 balls = 3* 4/3 * Π * 3^3

Height of Cylinder = 3 * 6 cm = 18 cm

Volume of cylinder = 18 * Π * 3^2

Space in the cylinder is not taken = Volume of cylinder - Volume of 3 balls

Do the math, you should get 169.6 cc for the space in the cylinder is not taken.

How can you find the height of a cylinder that contains 3 tennis balls with a radius of 3cm?

If the radius of each tennis ball is 3cm, then the diameter of each ball would be 6 centimeters. And since there are 3 balls, the height of the cylinder would be 18 centimeters.

What is the volume of a can of tennis balls that is 8 inches high has a radius of 1.5 inches?

A can of tennis balls is a cylinder. The formula for the volume of a cylinder is V = pr2 h therefore to find the volume: V = p(1.5)2 (8) V=18p


If the radius of a tennis ball is 3.5 cm what percentage of the tennis ball can is occupied by air?

How many balls are in one can? Three? If so, then calculate the volume of one ball and multiply by three. That's the volume occupied by the balls. The volume of a sphere is given by the formula V = 4(Pi)r3/3. Now calculate the volume of the cylinder. Assume that its height is three times the diameter of a ball (if there are three balls in the can). Remember that the diameter is twice the radius. Also, assume that the radius of the can is equal to the radius of one ball. The volume of a cylinder is given by the formula V = (Pi)r2h. Now subtract the volume of the balls from the volume of the can.


A can of tennis balls has an inside diameter of 7 cm and height of 20 cm if the diameter of a tennis ball is 6 cm how much space in the tennis ball can is not occupied by the three balls?

Well, let's first calculate the volume of the can. So, we would use πr2 to find the area of its base, so if 7 is the diameter, 3.5 is the radius, or r. Assuming 3.1415 for π, 3.5 * 3.5 = 12.25. 12.25*3.1415 = 38.483375. Now, we multiply this by the height, so 38.483375*20=769.6675. Then, we will calculate the volume of each tennis ball, each has a radius of 3, being that they have a diameter of 6, as the diameter is twice of the radius. To calculate the area of a tennis ball, we will use the formula 4/3πr3, using again 3.1415 for pi, and 3 for r. 33 equals 27, this multiplied by 3.1415 is 84.8205, then this multiplied by 4/3 is 113.094. Now, we have our volumes, the cylinder or can is 769.6675 cm3 and our balls are each 113.094 cm3, which we will multiply by three because there are three balls in the can, giving us 339.292 cm3, which is the total volume that the tennis balls take up. Now, we simply find what percent of 769.6675 339.292 is. So, we will divide 339.292 by 769.6675 to get approximately 0.440829319, which me multiply by 100 to get a percent, giving us 44.0829319, which is the percent of the can that the tennis balls take up.

What makes a racketball and tennis ball different from each other?

tennis balls are furry and raquet balls are not . tennis balls are also bigger.


What is the height of a tennis ball?

It all depends on which side you are measuring, the inside or the outside. The inside is shorter than the out because of the thickness of the balls covering. According to Wikipedia a tennis ball is 2.63 in. in diameter. The diameter on the inside will be a little closer to 2.50 in. The thickness of the balls covering is measured millimeters, and I don't know what that would be.


Why do you use new tennis balls and not old tennis balls?

New tennis balls are considered fresh and not "flat". Old tennis balls exposed to play and air become flat and do not perform normally in a match.
