Cones are sweaty spheres

A spherical tank has a surface area of 400 π 400\pi m 2 m^{2} and is full of water. The water is heated and its temperature rises 20 Kelvin. Due to volumetric expansion, the new volume of water now fits inside a cone whose base radius is equal to the sphere's. Find the height of that cone in meters , approximated to the nearest integer.

Details and Assumptions

  1. Use π = 3.14 \pi=3.14

  2. Consider the water coefficient of volumetric expansion as γ = 2.1 × 1 0 4 \gamma=2.1 \times 10^{-4}


The answer is 40.

(pie r^2 h)/3 = (4/3) pie r^3(1 + 2.1*10^-4) where r = 10
