The formula to calculate the Cylinder Weight (W) is:
\[ W = ρ \cdot \pi \cdot r^2 \cdot h \]
Where:
Cylinder weight is the mass of a cylindrical object, which depends on the material’s density and the volume of the cylinder. It is an important factor in fields such as materials science, mechanical engineering, and shipping, where the weight of objects must be known for design, analysis, or transportation purposes.
Let's consider an example:
Using the formula to calculate the Cylinder Weight:
\[ W = 0.1 \cdot \pi \cdot 2^2 \cdot 5 \approx 6.28 \, \text{pounds} \]
This demonstrates that with a material density of 0.1 pounds per cubic inch, a radius of 2 inches, and a height of 5 inches, the cylinder weight would be approximately 6.28 pounds.
