- The volume of water displaced by a submerged object is equal to the volume of the object. - The displaced water in a cylinder forms a cylindrical volume with the cylinder's radius and the height of the water level rise. - Formula for sphere volume: $V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$. - Formula for cylinder volume: $V = \pi r^2 h$.
By dropping a sphere of 30 cm radius into a cylindrical vessel of 80 cm diameter which is partly filled with water, its water level rises by x cm. Then what would be value of x?
