The Volume of Pipe is: 6912 cubic centimeters
The question wants us to consider a pipe that is hollow. The outer radius is 6cm while the inner radius is 5cm. The total length of the pipe is 2m.
A pipe is similar in shape to a cylinder and therefore, in order to find the volume of a pipe, we need to know how to calculate the volume of a cylinder
The formula for the volume of a cylinder is given below:
![\begin{gathered} \text{Volume = }\pi* r^2* h \\ r=\text{radius of the cylinder} \\ h=\text{height or length of the cylinder} \end{gathered}](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/viv3lo1jbx8q11vyb8ienn1q9ipr32o9nz.png)
A sketch of the cylinder is given below:
Now, we are told the pipe has inner and outer radii, meaning that the pipe is a combination of
two cylinders.
A sketch of this is shown below:
Thus, in order to get the amount of metal (i.e. the volume) contained in the pipe, we must
subtract the volume of the smaller cylinder from the volume of the bigger cylinder.
This is done below:
![\begin{gathered} \text{Volume of small =}\pi* r^2* h \\ \text{Volume of big=}\pi* R^2* h \\ \\ \therefore\text{Volume of pipe=(}\pi* R^2* h)-(\pi* r^2* h) \\ \\ \text{Volume of Pipe=}\pi* h(R^2-r^2) \\ \\ \text{Where,} \\ R=\text{radius of big cylinder} \\ r=\text{radius of small cylinder} \\ h=\text{height or length of cylinder} \end{gathered}](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/3j07c0n211kwjbp9v9su7sspjoqus6m21u.png)
Since R = 6cm,
r = 5cm
h = 2m = 2 x 100cm = 200cm
We can now calculate the volume of the pipe as:
![\begin{gathered} \text{Volume of pipe=}\pi* h(R^2-r^2) \\ \text{Volume of pipe=}\pi*200(6^2-5^2) \\ \\ \text{Volume of Pipe = 200}\pi(36-25) \\ \text{Volume of Pipe = 200}\pi*11=2200\pi \\ \\ \therefore\text{Volume of Pipe = 6911.504 cubic cm}\cong6912\operatorname{cm}\text{ ( to nearest cubic cm)} \end{gathered}]()
Therefore, the Volume of Pipe is: 6912 cubic centimeters
