Answer:

the mass of the solid glass cylinder is approximately 350.67 grams.

Explanation:

The diameter of the cylinder is 3 centimeters, which means that its radius is 1.5 centimeters (half the diameter). The area of the base of the cylinder is the area of a circle, calculated as pi (π) multiplied by the radius squared:

Base area = π x radius^2

Base area = π x (1.5 cm)^2

Base area = 7.07 cm^2 (approximately)

The volume of the cylinder is calculated by multiplying the area of the base by the height:

Cylinder Volume = Base Area x Height

Cylinder volume = 7.07 cm^2 x 31 cm

Cylinder volume = 219.17 cm^3 (approximately)

Now that we know the volume of the cylinder, we can calculate its mass using the density of the glass:

Mass = Density x Volume

Mass = 1.6 g/cm^3 x 219.17 cm^3

Mass = 350.67 grams (approximately)
