Homework Statement
I have to construct 8 concrete right cylinders for hurricane protection on windows, but I need to know the height to fit the given criteria. Each has a 4 inch radius and each weighs 1200 pounds. Concrete weighs 150 pounds per cubic foot.
V= volume of right cylinder
r=radius
h= height of right cylinder
Homework Equations
V=pi*r^2*h
The Attempt at a Solution
V=pi*r^2*h
1200 lbs= pi*16*h
h=23.8732 inches (1’11.87”).
I just don’t know where the weight of concrete, 150 pounds per cubic foot, comes into play. Thank you very much.
