The question, in short

Given a solid aluminium cylinder with radius 10 cm and mass 5.4 kg, and aluminium density 0.0027 kg/cm³, find the height h to one decimal place.

Summarised in our own words. Use the official paper for the exact wording and the diagram.

Solution · 5 marks

  1. 1Volume = mass ÷ density = 5.4 ÷ 0.0027 = 2000 cm³
  2. 2Volume of cylinder = π × 10² × h = 100πh
  3. 3100πh = 2000, so h = 2000 ÷ 100π = 6.366…
  4. 4h = 6.4
