Problem
A solid sphere of ice with radius 4 is placed on a hollow cone (vertex pointed down) of radius 4 and height 5. When the ice melts, how much of the water will overflow the cone? Express your answer as a common fraction in terms of . (For this problem, we ignore the fact that the volume of water decreases when it melts.)
Solution
The ice sphere has volume and the cone has volume When the ice melts, the amount of water that will overflow is
Final answer
\frac{176}{3}\pi
