a statical which may have seen hanging in the Endless caverns in Virginis is approximately in the form of a cone 4 ft. long with a base 18 in. in cubic ft.
:
The radius 18/2 = 9 in which is .75 ft
the volume
V = 1%2F3pi%2A.75%5E2%2A4
V = 2.356 cu/ft
:
V = Find the weight of the stalactite?
In order to find this, we need to know the density of the material these things are made of. (pounds per cu ft)
