Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The column has the shape of a cylinder hence the formula for the volume of a cylinder is
[tex]v=\pi r^2h[/tex]
Given
diameter d= 390 mm
radius r= 390/2= 195 mm to meter = 0.195 m
length or height h= 3 m
applying the data to the formula we have
[tex]v=\pi *0.195^2*3\\\\ v=\pi*0.0038*3\\\\ v=\pi*0.0114\\\\ v=0.035 m^3[/tex]
we can now use the volume in addition with the density given to solve for the mass using the expression for density
density= mass/volume
2.45= mass/0.035
mass= 2.45*0.035
mass= 0.085 mg
We know that weight
w= mass* acceleration
w= 0.085*9.81
w= 0.83 N
