You've been asked to calculate the mass of a conical pile of sawdust measuring 10 meters high with a base
radius of 8 meters. From experimental measurements, you've been able to determine that the density of
the sawdust depends upon the depth, d, of the sawdust in meters, according to the equation
p(d) = 180 + 10d kg/m³. Find the mass of the pile.
