MASS/MATHS Question for geeks?
« on: 20 January 2018, 15:39:35 »
Can any of you guys answer this?

A cylinder or disc (say the rough shape of a small roll of cellotape) has a diameter of 500mm.
It is 51mm long and it has a bore of 203mm.

The question is,  if the diameter of 500mm was reduced by 18mm,  what percentage of mass would be lost?

I have tried twice and been wrong both times, and cant think what I am missing (apart from numerous brain cells)

 :) ;)

AreaT equals 2(3.142x250)-2(3.142x101.5)
Volume equals AreaT x 51.

Are you losing 18mm from the outside diameter or is the bore increasing by 18mm?

Your answer will depend on which... ;)

Yes, losing 18mm from the outside diameter.

OK, new equation is:

AreaT2 equals 2(3.142x241) - 2(3.142x101.5)

New VolumeT2 equals AreaT 2 x 51.

The difference is obviously VolumeT - VolumeT2 :y

Don't forget, the area of a circle is π r².

Rookie mistake :-[

2piR is the circumference  ::)

Adjust the math accordingly, but the order of the workings is sound ;)

In answer to the original question...  ;)

One of my grandsons lives in Finland and his maths book shows a completely different method to my English grandsons, and both are different to my own vague memories.

I made the answer 6.1%,  my son says it is 8.4%.  I don't know what you made it for the above stated reason,  but thank you very much for taking the trouble to reply.

 :y :)

Ignore the length - it is common to both cases.

Using area = pi.r2

case 1 = pi x 2502 - pi x 101.52
case 2 = pi x 2412 - pi x 101.52

percentage loss = [case 1 - case 2] / case 1 x 100%

I make it 8.46% (rounded to 2 decimal places)

A roll of cellotape has a plastic & glue outer and a cardboard centre. Reducing the diameter by removing some/all of the tape won't alter the mass in the way  these sums predict due to the differences in density of the two materials.

So, is the disk a constant density?  ::)
