Given,

Length of cuboid (l) = 15 cm

Breadth of cuboid (b) = 10 cm

Height of cuboid (h) = 3.5 cm

Radius of each conical depression (r) = 0.5 cm

Depth of each conical depression (H) = 1.4 cm

From figure,

Volume of wood in stand = Volume of cuboid - 4 × Volume of each conical depression

= lbh - 4 × 13πr2H\dfrac{1}{3}πr^2H

= 15 × 10 × 3.5 - 4×13×227×0.5×0.5×1.44 \times \dfrac{1}{3} \times \dfrac{22}{7} \times 0.5 \times 0.5 \times 1.4

= 525 - 2221×1.4\dfrac{22}{21} \times 1.4

= 525 - 4.43\dfrac{4.4}{3}

= 525 - 1.47 = 523.53 cm3.

Hence, volume of wood in entire stand = 523.53 cm3.
