How can one calculate the volume of a golf ball?
Materials:
- Golf ball
- Measuring tape or ruler
- Calculator
Steps:
- Measure the diameter of the golf ball: Wrap the measuring tape or ruler around the widest part of the golf ball and record the circumference.
- Calculate the radius: Divide the circumference by 2π to get the radius.
- Use the formula for the volume of a sphere: V = (4/3)πr³, where r is the radius of the golf ball.
- Plug in the value of the radius: Substitute the radius you calculated into the formula to get the volume of the golf ball.
Example:
If a golf ball has a circumference of 20 centimeters:
- Radius = 20 cm / (2π) = 3.183 cm
- Volume = (4/3)π(3.183 cm)³ = 135.73 cm³
