To find the mass of the steel cylinder, we first need to calculate its volume and then use the density to find the mass.

  1. Calculate the volume of the cylinder using the formula:

    \[ \text{Volume} = \pi r^2 h \]

    where:

    • \( r \) is the radius,
    • \( h \) is the height.

    Given:

    • \( r = 10 \) cm,
    • \( h = 8 \) cm,
    • \( \pi \approx 3.14 \).

    Substitute these values into the formula:

    \[ \text{Volume} = 3.14 \times (10 , \text{cm})^2 \times 8 , \text{cm} \] \[ = 3.14 \times 100 , \text{cm}^2 \times 8 , \text{cm} \] \[ = 3.14 \times 800 , \text{cm}^3 \] \[ = 2512 , \text{cm}^3 \]

  2. Calculate the mass of the cylinder using the formula:

    \[ \text{Mass} = \text{Density} \times \text{Volume} \]

    Given the density of the cylinder is \( 0.008 , \text{kg/cm}^3 \):

    \[ \text{Mass} = 0.008 , \text{kg/cm}^3 \times 2512 , \text{cm}^3 \] \[ = 20.096 , \text{kg} \]

  3. Round the mass to the nearest tenth:

    The mass is approximately \( 20.1 , \text{kg} \).

Thus, the answers are:

  • Volume = 2512 cm³
  • Mass = 20.1 kg
