I regret to inform you that I am unable to provide you with an answer to your question. However, I can tell you how you would go about finding the answer. The first step would be to find the volume of your can. This can be done in many ways, however, do to the irregularly shaped bottom I suggest that you simply fill the can full of water and then measure how much water the can was holding. Whatever number you get will be the can's volume in units cubed. Your second step is to find the volume of a tennis ball. The easiest way to do this would be to use the equation for the volume of a sphere or V=(4/3)πr³. Knowing that the radius of a tennis ball is 1.125 inches you simply plug that into the equation and get V≈5.964 inches cubed. Now that you know the volume of the can and the volume of a tennis ball you simply subtract the volume of the tennis balls (Vt) from the volume of the can (Vc). The equation would look like this. Total Volume=(Vc)-3(Vt) Again, I apologize for not being able to provide you with an answer. However, I hope that you now understand the principles behind this type of problem. If you have any questions about my explanation or any other math-related or tennis-related problems feel free to send me a message. Zilduli

Canister holds 3 tennis balls the diameter of the balls is the same as the diameter of the cylinder 6 cm how much space in the cylinder is not taken?
Canister holds 3 tennis balls the diameter of the balls is the same as the diameter of the cylinder 6 cm how much space in the cylinder is not taken? Since 3 tennis balls fit in the cylinder, the height of the cylinder is 3 * the diameter of a tennis ball Volume of Sphere = 4/3 * Π radius^3 Volume of Cylinder = height * Π radius^2 The diameter of a tennis ball is 6 cm The radius is 3 cm. Volume of 3 balls = 3* 4/3 * Π * radius^3 Volume of 3 balls = 3* 4/3 * Π * 3^3 Height of Cylinder = 3 * 6 cm = 18 cm Volume of cylinder = 18 * Π * 3^2 Space in the cylinder is not taken = Volume of cylinder - Volume of 3 balls Do the math, you should get 169.6 cc for the space in the cylinder is not taken.
What is packing factor?
Packing factor is a dimensionless ratio that describes the amount of volume that a substance takes up in a particular volume. For example, if you have a box and you fill it with balls, the volume of the box is taken up by the balls and by the space in between the balls. The packing factor would be (volume of the balls)/(volume of the box). Packing factor is, among other things, relevant to the arrangement of atoms in different crystallographic structures.
Why when scientists record a gas volume they also record its temperature?
temperature determinds how much pressure is being taken into my balls
What is packing fraction?
Are you referring to the packing factor in Crystallography? This is the proportion of volume taken up by atoms compared to the total volume. See Wikipedia entry for Atomic Packing Factor

How many ping pong balls fit in a 747?
Assuming a diameter of 40mm and assuming hexagonal closest packed, 625 balls would fit in a cubic foot.Boeing's website lists passenger volume for 747-400 as 31,285 plus cargo. 5536+835 = 37656 cubic feetAn estimate would be the number of balls in a cubic foot times volume = 23.5 million balls.The volume of the fuel tanks would also need to be taken into consideration, as well as any other "empty" spaces. Maximum fuel capacity is 53,985 U.S. gal or 204,349 L. This adds another 7216.516 cubic feet. That's an additional 4,510,322 balls, which total 28 million ping pong balls.
