Answer

$C=0.280pF$

Work Step by Step

We can find the capacitance as $C=4\pi \epsilon_{\circ}r........eq(1)$ We also know that $V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$ This simplifies to: $r=(\frac{3V}{4\pi})^{\frac{1}{3}}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $r=(\frac{3(6.7021\times 10^{-8})}{4\times (3.1416)})^{\frac{1}{3}}=0.0025198m$ We plug in the known values in eq(1) to obtain: $C=4(3.1416)\times (8.85\times 10^{-12})\times (0.0025198)=0.280pF$
