Question

A bead is formed by drilling a cylindrical hole of 2mm diameter through a sphere with an 8mm diameter. Estimate the volume of the bead.

Answer 1

The bead is in a cylindrical shape and the formula for solving the volume of a cylinder is V=pi*r²*h where "r" is the radius, "h" for the height.
We have given values such as:
r=diameter/2 = 2/2 = 1mm
h= 8mm
Solving for the volume, we have:
V=3.14*1²*8
V=24.12 mm²
