1000 cylindrical metal bars of length 120 m and diameter 0.2 m , as shown below, are to be used in constructing a bridge. He bars needs to be painted with a rust proof paint (including the ends). One litre of paint will cover 4m^3. Calculate the number of litres of paint (tothe nearest litre) for 1000 bars.

the number of of litres of paint to the nearest litre for 1000 bars is 1 litre

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

1000 cylindrical metal bars have :

a length of 120 m

and a diameter of  0.2 m

The volume of the cylindrical bar can be calculated by the formula:

where ;

radius  

r = 0.1 m

the length of the cylindrical metal bars is equal to the height of the metal bar = 120 m

Thus the volume can now be calculated as follows:

V = 3.77 m³

So; from the given information.

One litre of paint will cover 4m³

and we want to find how many litres of paint will be used for the 1000 cylindrical bars.

If        1 litre = 4m³

Then  x litre = 3.77 m³

4x = 1 × 3.77

x = 0.9425 litres

x = 1 litres to the nearest litres.

Thus ; the number of of litres of paint to the nearest litre for 1000 bars is 1 litre
