A hollow iron pipe is 21 cm long and its external diameter is 8 cm. If the thickness of the pipe is 1 cm and iron weighs 8 g/cm3, then the weight of the pipe is:
3.6 kg
3.696 kg
36 kg
36.9 kg
Answer: Option
Explanation:

External radius = 4 cm,

Internal radius = 3 cm.

Volume of iron
= 22 x [(4)2 - (3)2] x 21 cm3
7
= 22 x 7 x 1 x 21 cm3
7
= 462 cm3.

Weight of iron = (462 x 8) gm = 3696 gm = 3.696 kg.

Given, Outer radius=4cm(from d/2)..
Inner radius = outer radius - thickness:4 - 1 = 3 cm.
Volume = π*(R^2-r^2)*h.
22/7*(16-9)*21.
462 cm^3.
Weight= mass * density.
462 * 8= 3696 gm % 1000 = 3.696kg.
