Finding Volume of a cylinder without height or given the hypotenuse

[Renegade]

Seriously this is a college level chemistry question? What retarded chemistry proff is not using metric units and makes you do conversions?

Note question also says "weighs" and not "has a mass of".

So much fail. Pretty much any answer could be correct if you vary the metal and the altitude.

Thus tt is not possible to correctly compute a height given the information in the question (we would have to know what "your pure metal" is,and at what altitude).

The only part of the question I have a problem with is 'pure metal'. If that is referenced in another question then it is needed to answer this question.

This reminds me of the golden crown. A 'pure' metal has a natural density. D=M/V

Because they give you the Mass and one of the two volume constraints, you are simply solving for the last constraint.

If they did not give you the natural density of the metal, now you are solving a problem of two variables. If thats the case I cannot help you.

I took a class called chem 10 and this reminds me alot of the kind of questions asked for volumetric analysis.

OP call the bluff..... it’s a test

I would solve it with an equation using density as a variable.
The equation would be the answer because you need more info.

Id combine what you did into a single final formula by substituting the mass/sensity for volume.

The density is provided when we were assigned the unknown “pure metal.” The lab was to calculate the density by weighing the mass and finding its volume using a graduated cylinder with water. I ended up with Ai and figured out the height of the cylinder.

In closing, the original question was missing necessary information. The lab also sucked and the instructions lacked concise detail.

Also FWIW, this chemistry professor wants us to complete all lab work in pen...

Your chemistry professor blows

Did I already say this prof was one SICK bitch?

I had an anatomy professor require the class final to be in Latin and in pen.. after an entire semester of requiring neither. It's often a power trip by a very unhappy person.

Boy it sucked he wouldn't just let you write 'big lower leg bone' and 'little lower leg bone' but, damnit, back in the day, in real school, we read and bled latin names.

Professors are supposed to mess with you - you get in tune with them - first psychology class I took the Prof gave reading assignment in the text, but lectured outside the text. I took copious notes and studied his lecture material religiously. Exam time, you guessed it - straight from the book.

You could it the 'college experience.' I called it 'I'm so fvcking tired of you non-studying bitches whining about hard tests after I have worked a semester of 10 hour swing shifts to get the days off I needed to go to class, and listen to you smack talking my A's, you are fvcking lucky I don't carry my gun to class, I'd either suck it or shoot your narrow ass' experience.

Golly, that felt good to get off my chest.
