Answer:
The length of test tube that remains empty is 3 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Length of test tube = 15 cm
diameter of test tube = 3.6 cm
Let r be the radius of test tube. Then:
r = 1.8 cm
Let h be the height of the water in the test tube. Then:
h = 6 cm
Therefore, the volume of water inside test tube is equal to the volume of cylindrical test tube of height 6 cm equal to πr2h.
= π × 1.8 × 1.8 × 6
= π × 1810 × 1810 × 6
= π × 95 × 95 × 6 = 54150π
Radius of one spherical drop of oil (R) = 9 mm = 910 cm
Therefore volume of one spherical drop is:
= 43 πR^3 = 43π × 910 ×910 ×910 = 32403553000π
Therefore, volume of 20 spherical drops = 20 × 243π250 =
= 648071060000π
Total volume of water and oil drops = 54150π + 648071060000π
= 648071114150π
Let H be the height of mixture of water and oil in the test tube, then:
πH =972π25π × 1.8 × 1.8 × H =972π25⇒1810 × 1810 × H =97225⇒8125 × H =97225⇒H =97225 × 2581 =97281 = 12 cm
Hence, the length of test tube that remains empty = 15 − 12 =3 cm.
