The iron pipe long is(l) = 21 cm

External radius(2r) = 8 ⇒ r = 4cm

Internal radius(r₁) = 4 -1 = 3cm

volume of iron = [22/7(r^2 - r₁^2)l]cm3

= [22/7(4^2 -3^2)(21)]cm3

= [22/7(7)(21)]cm3

= 462 cm3

Weight of iron =( volume of iron * iron weight)(cm3 *gm/cm3)

                          =(462 * 8) gm

                         = 3696 gm

Weight of iron is = 3.696 kg
