Question

5. A cylindrical pipe is placed in a rectangular trench that is 5m x 4m

and 2.5m deep, is placed across the shorter side of the trench.
5.1 How much volume of cement will be needed to cover this hollow
pipe?
​

Answer 1

The volume (density) of cement that will be needed to cover this hollow pipe is:

= 50,000 kg/m³

Explanation:

Length of a cylindrical pipe = 5m

Width of the cylindrical pipe = 4m

Depth of the cylindrical pipe = 2.5m

The cubic meters of the cylindrical pipe = 5 * 4 * 2.5 = 50m³

1 cubic meter is equal to 1,000 kilogram

Therefore, the volume (density) of cement that will be needed to cover this hollow pipe is:

= 50 * 1,000

= 50,000 kg/m³
