The weight of a 36-inch piece of PVC pipe is 0.20 pounds
<h3>How to determine the weight of a 36-inch piece of PVC pipe?</h3>
The given parameters about the 36-inch piece of PVC pipe are
Height, h = 36 inches
Outside diameter, D = 0.82 inches
Inside diameter, d= 0.75 inches
The volume of the PVC pipe is then calculated as:
V = πh(D/2)^2 - πh(d/2)^2
Substitute the known parameters in the above equation
V = 3.14 * 36 * (0.82/2)^2 - 3.14 * 36 * (0.75/2)^2
Evaluate the quotients
V = 3.14 * 36 * 0.41^2 - 3.14 * 36 * 0.375^2
Evaluate the exponents
V = 3.14 * 36 * 0.1681 - 3.14 * 36 * 0.140625
Evaluate the products
V = 19.002024 - 15.89625
Evaluate the difference
V = 3.105774 cubic inches
From the question, we have:
Weight = 0.063 pounds per cubic inch
So, the total weight is
Total weight = 3.105774 cubic inches * 0.063 pounds per cubic inch
Evaluate the product
Total weight = 0.195663762 pounds
Approximate
Total weight = 0.20 pounds
Hence, the weight of a 36-inch piece of PVC pipe is 0.20 pounds
