Mass and Density

3 Activities

Snow and ice is piled into a cone which is 5 m high and has a circular base of radius 10 m. The snow-and-ice mixture near the base has been compressed over time and so the pile is denser near the bottom. To be precise, at a height of yyy meters above ground, the density is
ρ(y)=250−50 ykg/m3\rho(y)=250-50~y\quad kg/m^3ρ(y)=250−50 ykg/m3
Find the total mass (in kilograms) of the cone.

Enter the exact total mass in kilograms. Don't include units.
