1. A test-tube has a diameter of 3cm. How many turns would a piece of thread of length 90.42cm make round the test tube. (Taken= =).
(3marks)

So if we think of a test tube, it looks sort of like a cylinder. This means that its cross-section would be a circle. To find out how many turns a piece of thread would make around the test tube, we need to find the circumference of the test tube, then divide the length of the string by the circumference.

Step 1) Find the circumference

C = pi x diameter

C = 3.14 x 3

C = 9.42

Step 2) Divide the length of the string by the circumference

90.42 / 9.42 = 9.5987

The string would make approximately 9.60 turns around the test tube.

Hope this helps!! :)
