Solution

To find the density of the material, we need to know the mass and the volume of the cylinder. The mass is given as 1 kilogram.

The volume of a cylinder is calculated using the formula V = πr²h, where r is the radius and h is the height.

  1. First, we need to convert the diameter to radius. The radius is half of the diameter, so r = 39.0 mm / 2 = 19.5 mm.

  2. Next, we need to convert the radius and height from millimeters to meters because the standard unit of volume in the International System of Units (SI) is cubic meters (m³). So, r = 19.5 mm = 0.0195 m and h = 39.0 mm = 0.039 m.

  3. Now we can calculate the volume: V = π(0.0195 m)²(0.039 m) = 0.0000118 m³.

  4. Finally, we can find the density using the formula ρ = m/V, where m is the mass and V is the volume. So, ρ = 1 kg / 0.0000118 m³ = 84745.76 kg/m³.

So, the density of the material is approximately 84745.76 kg/m³.
