Chapter 62, Problem 1A

Find the volume of a steel shaft that is 18.64 cm long and has a radius of 1.75 cm. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.

To determine

Volume of steel shaft.

Answer to Problem 1A

Volume of steel shaft $V=179.25c{m}^3$.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Length of shaft is 18.64 cm.

Radius of the shaft is 1.75 cm.

Calculation:

The formula for the volume of the shaft is $V=\pi r^{2}h$

Where r is the radius of the shaft and h is the length or height of the shaft,

So volume of the shaft is equal to

  $\begin{array}{l}V=\pi r^{2}h\\ V=\pi \times {1.75}^2\times 18.64\\ V=179.25c{m}^3\end{array}$.
