The weight of the cylindrical iron rod of density 7800 kg/m³ , length 84.8 cm and diameter 2.50 cm is 31.8 N

The relation between mass and density is given by:

m = ρ . V

Where:

m = mass

ρ = density

V = volume

In the given problem.

ρ = 7800 kg/m³

length (l) = 84.8 cm

diameter = 2.5 cm,

radius (r) = 2.5/2 = 1.25 cm

Hence, the volume of the rod is:

V = πr² . l

   = 3.14 x 1.25² x 84.8 = 416 cm³

   = 416 x 10⁻⁶ m³

Hence, its mass is:

m = 7800 x 416 x 10⁻⁶ = 3.24 kg

And its weight is:

w = m x g

   = 3.24 x 9.8 = 31.8 N

Hence, the weight is 31.8 N
