Algebra.Com's Answer #481065 by Alan3354(69443)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! An open cylindrical acid-bath is made from sheet lead 1 cm thick. Its external dimensions are 24 cm diameter and 20 cm depth. Calculate the mass of the bath if the density of lead is 11.45 g/cm3. \n" ); document.write( "----------- \n" ); document.write( "The volume of the base is pi*r^2*h = 144pi cc \n" ); document.write( "----- \n" ); document.write( "The volume of the sides is pi*12^2*20 - pi*11^2*20 = 460pi cc \n" ); document.write( "Total = 604pi cc \n" ); document.write( "Mass = vol*density = 11.45*604*pi grams \n" ); document.write( "=~ 21727 grams \n" ); document.write( "========================= \n" ); document.write( "You get 20.9 kg if you use 19 cm as the depth, rather than 20 cm. \n" ); document.write( "The depth is stated as 20 cm, that's the distance from the top to the inside bottom, not the outside. External dimensions and depth are not the same.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
