1 cubit = 43 to 53 cm, L = 9.5 cubits, D = 1.5 cubits.
(a) The cylinder's length in meters
lower value: 0.43 m/cubit * 9.5 cubit = 4.1 m
upper value: 0.53 m/cubit * 9.5 cubit = 5.0 m
(b) the cylinder's length in millimeters
lower value: 4.3*102 mm/cubit * 9.5 cubit =
4.1*103 mm
upper value: 5.3*102 mm/cubit * 9.5 cubit =
5.0*103 mm
(c) the cylinder's volume in cubic meters?
lower value: π*(0.43 m/cubit * 1.5/2 cubit)2 * (0.43
m/cubit * 9.5 cubit) = 2.7 m3
upper value: π*(0.53 m/cubit * 1.5/2 cubit)2 * (0.53
m/cubit * 9.5 cubit) = 5.0 m3

The cubit is an ancient unit of length based on the distance between the elbow and the tip of the middle finger of the measurer. Assume that the distance ranged from 43 to 53 cm, and suppose that ancient drawings indicate that a cylindrical pillar was to have a length of 6.0 cubits and a diameter of 3.0 cubits. For the stated range, what are the lower values for (a) the cylinder's length in meters, (b) the cylinder's length in...
Chapter 01, Problem 051 Partially correct answer. Your answer is partially correct. Try again. The cubit is an ancient unit of length based on the distance between the elbow and the tip of the middle finger of the measurer. Assume that the distance ranged from 43 to 53 cm, and suppose that ancient drawings indicate that a cylindrical pillar was to have a length of 5.0 cubits and a diameter of 2.0 cubits. For the stated range, what are the...
