Answer to Problem 41GP

Solution:

The number of candies in the jar is 130.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

A cylindrical jar filled with cylindrical shape candies

Let the radius of the jar is R=5cm

The height of the jar is H=15cm

The radius of the candy is r=1cm

The height of the candy, h=2.5cm

Formula used:

The volume of a cylinder is given as

  V=πR2H

Here,

  R is radius

  H is the height

Number of candies in the jar is calculated as

  n=VolumeofjarVolumeofonecandy

Calculation:

The volume of the jar is calculated as

  Vjar=π×0.052×0.15=0.0011m3

The candies are of irregular shape and due to the irregularity of the candies,a fraction of the volume of the jar is occupied by the air, let the volume of available for the candies is 90% of the total volume of the jar.

The effective volume of the jar is calculated as

  Veffective=0.9×0.0011=0.00099m3

The volume of one candy is calculated as

  Vcandy=π×0.012×0.025=7.85×106m3

Number of candies in the jar is calculated as

  n=0.000997.85× 10 6=126.11=130

Conclusion:

The number of candies in a jaris 130.
