To find the thickness of the pipe, we need to subtract the internal radius from the external radius of the pipe.
Given:
Volume of the pipe = 1408 cm^3
Length of the pipe = 14 cm
Internal radius = 7 cm
Let's assume the external radius of the pipe is r cm.
1. Finding the external radius:
Since the pipe is cylindrical, we can use the formula for the volume of a cylinder to find the external radius.
Volume of a cylinder = π * r^2 * h
Given: Volume = 1408 cm^3, Height = 14 cm
1408 = π * r^2 * 14
Dividing both sides by 14π, we get:
r^2 = 1408 / (14π)
r^2 = 32 / π
Taking the square root of both sides, we get:
r = √(32 / π)
2. Finding the thickness:
The thickness of the pipe is the difference between the external radius and the internal radius.
Thickness = External radius - Internal radius
Thickness = (√(32 / π)) - 7
3. Simplifying the expression:
To simplify the expression, we need to rationalize the denominator.
Multiplying the numerator and denominator by π, we get:
Thickness = (√(32 / π)) - 7 * (√(π / π))
Thickness = (√(32π / π^2)) - 7√(π / π)
Simplifying further:
Thickness = (4√π / π) - 7
Therefore, the thickness of the pipe is 4 cm, which is option (c).
