Question : John is given a sample of precious alloy of density 11 g/cm3. The piece of metal is 5.696 cm long and has a square end of 2.97 × 2.97 cm. He is told to machine this piece of metal into a cylinder with a diameter of 2.97 cm. He is told that he will be given the shavings to sell on his own. The price of the alloy is $4.03/g. How much money will John earn?
Error tolerance: ±$0.01
My answ: $477.98
My attempt:
Volume= 50.2 cm
2Mass= 552.2
Volume cylinder= 39.46 cm
3Volume of shaving= 10.74 cm
311g/cm
3 x 10.74 cm
3 = 118.14 g
118.14g x $4.03/g =
$477.98Does my answer look correct?
