The largest candle had a diameter of 2.59 m and a mass of 89,867 kg. What is its height

The largest candle had a diameter of 2.59 m and a mass of 89,867 kg. What is its height if the density of the wax is 700 kg / m3?

Initial data: d (candle diameter) = 2.59 m; m (candle weight) = 89 867 kg.

Reference values: by condition we take ρ (wax density) = 700 kg / m3.

1) Determine the volume of the candle: V = m / ρ = 89867/700 = 128.38 m3.

2) Determine the cross-sectional area of the candle: S = 0.25 * Π * d ^ 2 = 0.25 * 3.14 * 2.59 ^ 2 ≈ 5.27 m2.

3) Calculate the height of the candle: h = V / S = 128.38 / 5.27 = 24.36 m.

Answer: The candle height was 24.36 m.
