Answer: Mass of trunk = 6100 kg
Step-by-step explanation:
The trunk of the tree is cylindrical. We would apply the formula for determining the volume of a cylinder is expressed as
Volume = πr²h
Where
h represents the height of the cylinder.
r represents the radius of the cylinder.
π is a constant whose value is 3.14
From the information given
Height = 38 meters
Diameter of circular base = 0.62 meters.
Radius = diameter/2 = 0.62/2 = 0.31 meters
Therefore,
Volume of trunk = 3.14 × 0.31² × 38 =
11.47 m³
Mass = density × volume
Mass of the trunk = 520 kilograms per cubic meter
Mass of trunk = 520 × 11.47 = 6056.16 kg
Rounding to the nearest hundred,
Mass of trunk = 6100kg
