A lead pencil consists of a cylinder of wood with a solid cylinder of graphite filled in the interior. The diameter of the pencil is 7 mm and the diameter of the graphite is 1 mm. If the length of the pencil is 14 cm, find the volume of the wood and that of the graphite.

Answer
Volume of wood = π(R2 - r2)h, where R = Radius of pencil and r = Radius of graphite.
Radius of pencil =
= = 3.5 mm
Radius of graphite =
= = 0.5 mm
Given height = 14 cm = 140 mm.
Putting values in formula,
Volume of graphite = πr2h.
Putting values we get,
Hence, the volume of wood = 5.28 cm3 and volume of graphite = 0.11 cm3.
