Answer to Question #221800 in Physics for Aurora

Question

1 kg of a platinum-iridium has 39 mm in height and 39 mm in diameter. The

volume of cylinder is V = πr²h. Calculate the density of the cylinder in SI unit.

Answer 1

Calculate the density of the cylinder

$$\rho=\frac{m}{V}=\frac{m}{\pi r^2h}\\ =\frac{1\:\rm kg}{3.14*(0.039/2\:\rm m)^2*(0.039\:\rm m)}=21475\:\rm kg/m^3$$
