Answer

$W=8.370\times10^{3}lb$

Work Step by Step

Height of the pillar $h=2.2m$ Radius of pillar $r=0.50m$ Volume of the cylindrical pillar $V=\pi r^2 h$ $v=3.14\times (0.50m)^2\times2.2m$ $V=1.727m^3$ Density of concrete is given as $\rho =2.2\times10^{3}kg/m^3$ from $\rho=\frac{M}{V}$ $M=\rho V$ so mass of the concrete used is $M=2.2\times10^{3}kg/m^3\times 1.727m^3$ $M=3.7994\times10^{3}kg$ taking acceleration due to gravity as $g=9.8m/s^2$ weight of concrete $W=Mg$ weight of concrete $W=3.7994\times10^{3}kg\times9.8m/s^2$ weight of concrete $W=37.23412\times10^{3}N$ weight of concrete $W=3.723412\times10^{4}N$ now since $1N=0.2248lb$ so weight of concrete $W=3.723412\times10^{4}\times 0.2248lb$ so weight of concrete $W=0.8370\times10^{4}lb$ weight of concrete $W=8.370\times10^{3}lb$
