Answer
Given,
Diameter of metallic spheres = 6 cm
Radius of metallic spheres (r) = = 3 cm.
Height of cone (H) = 45 cm
Diameter of cone = 12 cm
Radius of cone (R) = = 6 cm.
Let no. of spheres melted to form a solid metal cone be n.
∴ n × Volume of each sphere = Volume of solid metal cone
Hence, 15 solid metallic spheres need to be melted.
