A silo of 6 metres diameter and 12 metres cylindrical height holds a powder of bulk density 1.2 tonnes per cubic metre. Roughly what mass does the cylindrical section hold when full?

  • A.about 814 tonnes
  • B.about 407 tonnes
  • C.about 339 tonnes
  • D.about 216 tonnes

Answer: B

The volume is pi times three squared times twelve, which is about three hundred and thirty-nine cubic metres, and multiplying by one point two gives about four hundred and seven tonnes. Confusing radius with diameter is the usual error here.
