Question
A cylindrical tank with diameter 20in. is half filled with water. How much will the water level rise if a metallic ball of radius 4 in. is placed in the tank?

Since the tank has a cross-section area of 100π in^2,
each in^3 of ball raises the water level by 1/(100π) in.
So, figure the volume of the ball and multiply.
