Savannah Henry · Answer 1

Total Weight of one ball = 1.62 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

The data given for a standard gold ball:

Diameter = 1.680 inches

Weight per inch³ = 0.6523 ounces

First find the radius:

Radius = Diameter/2 = 1.680/2 = 0.84 inches

Find Volume of the gold ball:

Volume = (4/3) π r³

Volume = (4/3) π (0.84) ³

Volume = 2.48 inch³

Find the Total Weight:

Total Weight of one ball = Volume · Weight per inch³

Total Weight of one ball = (2.48 inch³) · (0.6523 ounces/inch³)

Total Weight of one ball = 1.617704 ounces

Total Weight of one ball = 1.62 ounces (Rounded off)
