Mathematics
A cylindrical can whose base is horizontal and of radius 3.5 cm contains sufficient water so that when a sphere is placed in the can, the water just covers the sphere. Given that the sphere just fits into the can, calculate :
(i) the total surface area of the can in contact with water when the sphere is in it.
(ii) the depth of the water in the can before the sphere was put into the can. Given your answer as proper fractions.
