Given, radius of glass jar, R = 12.5 cm Diameter of sphere = 15 cm Radius of sphere, r = = 7.5 cm When the sphere is removed from the jar, volume of water decreases. Let h be the height by which water level decrease. Volume of water decreased = Volume of sphere Hence, the height by which water level decrease is 3.6 cm.
