  1. 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
