To determine the effect of changing the diameter of a sphere to its volume, we would need to know the formula for the volume of a sphere which is V = 4πr³/3 where r is half of the diameter. As you can see, there is a direct relationship.
r1 = d1/2 r2 = d2/2 = 2d1/2 = d1
V2/V1 = (4πd1³/3) / (4π(d1/2)³/3) V2/V1 = 8
Therefore, the volume of the sphere would be 8 times the original volume.
