Hint: Find the volume of the inner cylinder and the volume of the outer cylinder using the formula for the volume of a cylinder of height h and radius r, i.e. V=πr2h. Use the fact that the volume of the pipe is the volume of the inner cylinder subtracted from the volume of the outer cylinder, i.e,. Vp=VoVi, where Vp is the volume of the pipe, Vo is the volume of the outer cylinder and Vi the volume of the inner cylinder. Hence find the volume of the pipe. Using ρ=mV, where ρ is the density, m the mass and V the volume, determine the mass of the pipe.

A cross-sectional view of the pipe is shown above.
Here BC = r = 6cm and BD = R = 8cm.

A lateral view of the pipe is shown above
Here AB = h = 28cm.
Now, we know
The radius of inner cylinder = r = 6cm and the height of the inner cylinder = h= 28cm.
We know that the volume of a cylinder of radius r and height h is given by
V=πr2h
Hence, we have
Vi=πr2h=227×62×28=3168cm3
Also, we have
The radius of the outer cylinder = R = 8cm and the height of the outer cylinder = h = 28cm
We know that the volume of a cylinder of radius r and height h is given by
V=πr2h
Hence, we have
Vo=πR2h=227×(8)2×28=5632cm3
We know that the volume of the pipe is the volume of inner cylinder subtracted from the volume of the outer cylinder, i.e. Vp=VoVi
Hence, we have the volume of the pipe =Vp=VoVi=56323168=2464cm3
Hence the volume of the pipe is equal to 2464 cubic centimetres.
Now, we have
Mass of 1 cubic centimetre of iron = 7gm
Hence, we have the density of iron ρ=7g/cm3
Let m be the mass of the pipe
We know that ρ=mV
Hence, we have
7=m2464
Multiplying both sides by 2464, we get
m = 17248gm
Hence the weight of the pipe is 17.248 kg.

Note: In mensuration problems, special care should be taken about the units. When comparing things or finding area/volume, units should be kept the same. Many students do not change the units or make them the same and end up with incorrect results.
