Question

A plumbers plastic pipe is 4 m long, has an inside diameter of 4.0 cm and an outside diameter of 5.0cm. What is the volume of the plastic in the pipe?

Answer 1

Answer: $V=0.0028278\ m^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Length of the pipe $l=4\ m$

Inside diameter of the pipe $d_i=4\ cm$

Outside diameter of the pipe $d_o=5\ cm$

Volume of the pipe

$\Rightarrow V=\dfrac{\pi }{4}[d_o^2-d_i^2]\\\\\text{Insert the values}\\\\\Rightarrow V=\dfrac{\pi}{4}[5^2-4^2]\times 10^{-4}\times 4\\\\\Rightarrow V=28.278\times 10^{-4}\ m^3\\\\\Rightarrow V=0.0028278\ m^3$
