Palabora Mine, Phalaborwa, is a South African copper mine. A total of 4.1 million tonnes of copper have been extracted from this mine. In the image shown, Dillon Marsh, a South African artist, has combined photography and computer imaging to visualize the total copper output of the mine. The copper sphere in the image is placed on the ground from which it was extracted, and represents a scale model of the copper removed from the mine. Find the radius of the copper sphere, given that 1 m3 of copper weighs about 8930 kg.        [Enter the value to the nearest integer and excluding units]
