A steel rod of 4 cm diameter and 14 cm length is used in the making of solid cubical dice. If the length of each side of each dice is 4 mm, then how many such dice can be made from this rod?
A steel rod of 4 cm diameter and 14 cm length is used in the making of solid cubical dice.
radius of rod = $$\frac{4}{2}\ =\ 2$$ cm
length of rod = 14 cm
If the length of each side of each dice is 4 mm.
length of each side of each dice = 4 mm
= $$\frac{4}{10}$$ cm [Because we know that 1 cm = 10 mm.]
= 0.4 cm
Let's assume the number of such dices can be made from this rod is 'n'.
So the volume of rod = n $$\times$$ volume of each dice
$$\pi\times\left(radius\right)^2\times\ length =n\times\left(length\ of\ each\ side\right)^3$$
$$\pi\times\left(2\right)^2\times14=n\times\left(0.4\right)^3$$So the number of such dice can be made from this rod = 2750
