Answer: 11,282.8 kg/m^3

Step-by-step explanation:

We know:

Density = mass/volume

1 kg = mass

(π)(r^2)(h) = volume

Density = m/(πr^2h)

Plug in your values:

Density = 1kg/(π)(24.5 mm)^2(47 mm)

^we have to cut 49 (the diameter) in half because the equation calls for radius

Remember to multiply the density by 10^9 mm/ 1 m because the answer asks for kg/m^3

Answer:

11,627.91 kg/m^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the density of the material is shown below

Given that

Mass , m = 1 kg

Height, H - 47 mm = 0.047 m

Diameter, d = 49 mm = 0.049 m

Now radius, r = D ÷ 2

= 0.049 ÷ 2

= 0.0245

Volume = πr^2h

= 3.14 × (0.0245)^2 × 0.047

= 0.000086m^3

Now the density of the material is

= mass ÷ volume

= 1÷ 0.000086m^3

= 11,627.91 kg/m^3
