Question
once ryan used his volume calculations to pack his drums away in the van, he headed off to the airport.
he quickly realised he had forgotten to calculate the weight of his drums, which needs to be less than \\(25\text{ kg}\\) for the airport to accept it on board the plane.
calculate the weight of ryans drums (ignoring cymbals and stands), and decide whether or not he can afford to transport his drum kit.
the dimensions of the drums are given below in the format \\(\text{diameter} \times \text{length}\\):
\\
\
\\
we will approximate the weight of the drum kit by ignoring the metal hoops and lugs, and just calculate the weight of the wooden drum shells. the radius of each drum extends right out to the edge of the drum shell. each drum has the same shell thickness, which is given below, and are made from the wood maple, which has a particular density (weight per volume) also given below.
shell thickness: \\(2\text{ cm}\\)
maple density: \\(700\text{ kg/m}^3\\)
give your answer in appropriate units and round to 2 decimal places.

The total weight of Ryan's drums is \(25.69\text{ kg}\).
Since this weight is greater than the limit of \(25\text{ kg}\), he cannot afford to transport his drum kit on board the plane.
