Given,

The radius of the spherical capsule =r =\frac{3.5}{2}

\thereforeThe volume of the capsule = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

= \frac{4}{3}\times\frac{22}{7}\times(\frac{3.5}{2})^3

= \frac{4}{3}\times22\times\frac{0.5\times3.5\times3.5}{8}

= 22.458\ mm^3 \approx 22.46\ mm^3\ \ (approx)

Therefore, 22.46\ mm^3\ \ (approx) of medicine is needed to fill the capsule.
