The approximate mass of the spherical weight is 51 pounds

To answer the question, we need to know what the mass of the sphere is

Mass of the sphere

The mass of the sphere m = ρV where

  • ρ = density of steel = 0.284 lb/in³ and
  • V = volume of sphere = 4πr³/3 where
  • r = radius of sphere = 3.5 in

So, m = ρV

= ρ4πr³/3

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

m = ρ4πr³/3

= 0.284 lb/in³ × 4π(3.5 in)³/3

= 0.284 lb/in³ × 4π × 42.875 in³/3

= 48.706π lb/3

= 153.014 lb/3

= 51 lb

The approximate mass of the spherical weight is 51 pounds
