Diameter of a metallic ball = 4.2 cm
Radius(r) of the metallic ball, r = \(\frac{4.2}{2}\) cm = 2.1 cm
Volume formula = \(\frac{4}{3}\) πr3
Volume of the metallic ball = \(\frac{4}{3}\) × \(\frac{22}{7}\) ×2.1 cm3
Volume of the metallic ball = 38.808 cm3
Now, using relationship between, density, mass and volume,
Density = Mass/Volume
Mass = Density × volume
= (8.9 × 38.808) g
= 345.3912 g
Mass of the ball is 345.39 g (approx).
