The volume of the cylinder is calculated using the formula for the
volume of a cylinder, V =π r 2 h, where "r" is the radius and "h" is the height. For
the given dimensions, the volume is found to be 0.0053 cubic meters (m3).

Vision: A globally competitive university for science, technology, and environmental conservation.
Mission: Development of a highly competitive human resource, cutting-edge scientific knowledge and
innovative technologies for sustainable communities and environment.
To determine the amount of cement needed, we use the mix ratio. For
M15 concrete, the mix ratio is 1:2:4, which means for every 1 parts of cement,
it needs 2 parts of sand and 4 parts of aggregates. The volume of cement is
calculated to be 0.224 m3. Converting this volume to weight using the density
of cement (1440 kg/m3), we find that 0.224 m3 of cement weighs 322.9 kg.
