Question
The inner diameter of a cylindrical wooden pipe is 24 cm and its outer diameter is 28 cm. The length of the pipe is 35 cm. Find the mass of the pipe, if 1 cm3of wood has a mass of 0.6 g.
Solution
∵ Inner diameter = 24 cm
∵ Outer diameter = 28 cm
∵ Outer radius (R) =
Length of the pipe (h) = 35 cm Outer volume =
R2h

Inner volume =
r2h

∵ Outer diameter = 28 cm
∵ Outer radius (R) =

Length of the pipe (h) = 35 cm Outer volume =


Inner volume =


Volume of the wood used = Outer volume – Inner volume
= 21560 cm3 – 15840 cm3 = 5720 cm3
∴ Mass of the pipe = 5720 x 0.6 g
= 3432 g = 3.432 kg.
