Problem 23 It is desired to cut off a piece of lead pipe 2 in. in outside diameter and 1/4 in. thick, so that it will melt into a cube of edge 4 in. How long a piece will be required?
Solution 23
r = inner radius of pipe $r = R - \frac{1}{4} = 0.75 ~ \text{in.}$
Volume of pipe = Volume of cube $\pi (1^2 - 0.75^2)L = 4^3$
$L = 46.564 ~ \text{in.}$ answer
