A lead pencil consists of a cylinder of wood with a solid cylinder of graphite filled in the interior. The diameter of the pencil is 7 mm and the diameter of the graphite is 1 mm. If the length of the pencil is 14 cm, find the volume of the wood and that of the graphite.. This is the Question Number 07, Exercise 17.1 of M.L Aggarwal.

Given length of the pencil, h = 14 cm
Diameter of the pencil = 7 mm
radius, R = 7/2 mm = 7/20 cm
Diameter of the graphite = 1 mm
Radius of graphite, r = ½ mm = 1/20cm
Volume of graphite = r2h
= (22/7)×(1/20)2×14
= 11/100
= 0.11 cm3
Hence the volume of the graphite is 0.11 cm3
Volume of the wood = (R2-r2)h
= (22/7)×[(7/20)2-(1/20)2]14
= (22/7)×[(49/400)-(1/400)]14
= (22/7)×(48/400)×14
= 11×12/25
= 5.28 cm3
Hence the volume of the wood is 5.28 cm3
