Expert Answer
Figure shows a sphere is just immersed in water contained in a conical vessel.
Volume of overflowing water equals volume of sphere. To get the radius of sphere, we need to find the biggest circle
that can be enclosed inside the cone ABC.
Let O be the centre of circle and we draw perpendicular OD and OE. Let the radius OD be r cm
CD is tangent to the circle and CD = 3cm and OCD = (1/2)ECD = (1/2)tan-1(8/3) ≈35°
we have OD = r = CD×tanOCD = 3 × tan(35) ≈ 2 cm.
hence fraction of overflowing water =
