Cubic space needed for 2000 stress balls

Question

Good morning,

We are trying to create a clear box as a thermometer for a fundraising event. We are using 2000 2.75" diameter balls to represent the amount of money raised. How much cubic space is needed to accomodate these stress balls?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

You could make the box 10 balls by 10 balls by 20 balls...

10 x 2.75" = 27.5"

20 x 2.75" = 55"

So, the box will be 27.5" x 27.5" x 55" = 37812.5 cubic inches
