Question

A cylindrical fuel rod inside a nuclear reactor has radius 3 cm and length 20 cm. The density of unused uranium is given by $\rho(x) = 10 - \frac{x}{2}$ g/cm$^3$, where $x$ is the distance from one of the circular ends. Calculate the total mass of unused uranium in the fuel rod.

Name: A cylindrical fuel rod inside a nuclear reactor has radius 3 cm and length 20 cm. The density of unused uranium is given by ρ(x) = 10 - (x)/(2) g/cm^3, where x is the distance from one of the circular ends. Calculate the total mass of unused uranium in the fuel rod.

Step 1

The volume of a cylinder is given by the formula V = πr^2h, where r is the radius and h is the height (or length) of the cylinder. In this case, the radius (r) is 3 cm and the length (h) is 20 cm. So, the volume (V) of the fuel rod is V = π(3 cm)^2(20 cm) = 180π Show more…
