Gold in the form of solid cylinders will be molded into solid blocks.
Each cylinder has a diameter of 6.19 cm and a height of 6 cm.
Each solid block will have a volume of 360 cm3.
How many cylinders of gold will it take to mold one block of gold?
:
c = no. of cylinders to make one block with a vol of 360 cm
c = 360%2F%28CylinderVol%29
c = 360%2F%28pi%2Ar%5E2%2Ah%29
r = 6.19/2 = 3.095
h = 6
c = 360%2F%28pi%2A3.095%5E2%2A6%29 = 1.99379 ~ 2 cylinders required
