Solution:
Given:
Diameter of the pencil =7mm
Radius of the pencil (R) = 7/2mm
Diameter of the graphite cylinder =1mm
Radius of the graphite(r) = 1/2mm
Height(h)=14cm= 140mm
[1cm= 10 mm]
Volume of a cylinder= πr²h
Volume of graphite cylinder = πr2h = 22/7 ×1/2 × 1/2 ×140
Volume of graphite = 110 mm³
Volume of pencil = πR²h
= 22/7 ×7/2 × 7/2 ×140
= 490×11= 5390 mm²
Volume of pencil=5390mm³
Volume of wood = Volume of pencil - Volume of graphite
Volume of wood= 5390- 110= 5280 mm³
= 5280/1000= 5.28 cm³
[1mm³= 1/1000cm³]
Volume of wood = 5.28 cm³
