Write the formula to calculate the mass of a solid iron sphere of radius
Here,
Write the formula to calculate the volume of iron sphere
Here,
Substitute
Since both sphere must balance to each other on an equal arm balance. So, they both have equal mass.
Equating equation (I) and equation (II),
Conclusion:
Substituting
Therefore, the radius of a solid aluminum sphere is
