A can in the shape of a right cylinder is filled with 10W-40 oil. The weight of 10W-40 oil is 0.857 gram per cubic centimeter. If the cylinder has a radius of length 6 cm and a height of 10 cm, calculate the weight of the oil (in grams) in the can. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Respuesta :

This is the concept volume and mass of solid materials. We are required to calculate the weight of the oil in the can, this will be given by:
weight=[volume of the can]*[mass per cubic centimeter (density)]
volume of the can is:
volume=πr^2h
radius,r=6 cm
height,h=10 cm

volume=π×6^2*10
volume=1,130.97 cm^3

thus the weight of the can will be:
weight=0.857×1,130.97
=969.244 grams
