The frustum can be considered as consisting of a square pyramid, less the
cut volume.
- The mass of the stand, is approximately 18.60905 kg
Reasons:
The given parameter of the frustum are;
The density of the frustum, ρ = 85 g/cm³
Height of pyramid, h = 9 cm
Side length of base = 10 cm
Height of frustum
By proportional shapes, the side length of the top of the frustum can be found as follows;
B₁ = 10², B₂ =
Therefore;
The volume of the stand, V ≈ 218.93 cm³
Mass = Volume × Density
∴ Mass of the stand, m = 218.93 cm³ × 85 g/cm³ = 18,609.05 grams = 18.60905 kg.
