Question:

Weight of hallow pipe?

A hollow cylindrical copper pipe is 1.40 m long and has an outside diameter of 3.70 cm and an inside diameter of 2.60 cm.How much does it weigh?

Answer:

Some people use them, some don't. One would hope they plow the roads in Milwaukee.
I live in Milwaukee and I have all-season tires on my car. We get plenty of snow but not enough to put snow tires on a car. And most people dont wanna switch between snow tires and regular tires every year so we buy all-season tires. Snow tires r for people who live in the mountains where they get more snow.
problematic point. seek onto google. this can help!
First determine the volume of copper. With the density of copper we can then determine the mass, which in turn determines its weight. The volume of copper equals the volume of a solid cylinder of radius 3.70 cm minus the volume of a solid cylinder of radius 2.60 cm, both of length 1.40 m The formula for the volume of a cylinder is V pi R^2 L Hence the difference between two cylinders of radii Ri and Ro (inner and outer) is V pi (Ro^2 - Ri^2) L For our pipe this gives: V pi * ( (0.0370 m)^2 - (0.0260 m)^2 ) * 1.40 m 0.00305 m^3 The density of copper is 8960 kg/m^3 , so the mass of the pipe is m density * Volume 8960 kg/m^3 * 0.00305 m^3 27.3 kg The weight (assuming Earth's gravity is g 9.81 m/s^2) is W m g 27.3 kg * 9.81 m/s^2 268 N
