Chapter 1, Problem 1.47P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The volume $\left({\text{dm}}^3\right)$ of blood that a $9.5\text{ cm}$ high and $0.85\text{ cm}$ in diameter cylindrical tube can hold is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

Volume is a physical quantity and its SI unit is cubic meter $\left({\text{m}}^{\text{3}}\right)$. The other units of the volume are liter, milliliter, cubic decimeter, microliter.

The formula to calculate the volume of a cylinder is,

$\text{Volume}=\pi r^{2}h$ (1)

Here, $r$ is the radius of the cylinder and $h$ is the height of the cylinder.

The relation between diameter and radius is,

$\text{radius}\left(r\right)=\frac{\text{diameter}\left(d\right)}{2}$ (2)
