Answer

$49.7Kg$

Work Step by Step

The mass of the bronze cylinder can be determined as follows: First of all, we will find the volume of the bronze $V=\pi r^2 h$ $\implies V=3.1416(6.44)^2(44.37)=5781.1cm^3$ The total density can be determined $Total \space density=0.7942g\space Cu (8.94g/cm^3)+0.2058g\space Cu(7.31g/cm^3)=8.60g/cm^3$ Now, mass of the bronze cylinder is calculated as $m=density\times volume$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $m=8.60\times 5781.1=49717.46g=49.7Kg$ While solving this problem, we should make the assumption that the bronze cylinder is at room temperature to keep the density constant.
