Answer
Given,
Diameter of spherical marbles = 1.4 cm
Radius (r) = = 0.7 cm.
Diameter of beaker = 7 cm
Radius of beaker (R) = = 3.5 cm
Increase in water level (h) = 5.6 cm.
Let n marbles are dropped.
⇒ Volume of water increased in beaker = n × Volume of one marble (sphere)
⇒ πR2h =
Hence, 150 marbles are dropped in the beaker.
