9. QUESTION:
   How much gold can i take to Australia?
   I'm moving to Australia as an immigrant, I have more than 1 kilo of cold including gold coins of one ounce, 2 ounce. How much is allowed to bring at the borders?

   • ANSWER:
     There doesn't appear to be any restriction on bringing gold into Australia, but if it is in the form of coins, it will probably come under the heading of currency. There is no limit to the amount of currency you can bring, but if the value is over AUD,000, it must be declared.
     http://www.customs.gov.au/site/page4835.asp

     As a first-time migrant, you are entitled to bring with you to Australia, duty and GST free, all your personal and household effects that you have owned and used for the whole of the period of 12 months immediately preceding your departure for Australia so there should be no question of paying duty on it either.
     http://www.customs.gov.au/site/page4224.asp

     Because of the large amount of gold you have, it would be a very good idea to contact Australian Customs before you travel to ensure that you have any required documentation so that you avoid any possible problems upon arrival:

10. QUESTION:
    How much gold can you bring into the united states?
    I am planing on going to Africa for a vacation and while I am there I am going to try buy a lot of gold nuggets. Is there a limit on how much I can bring into the united states? I am also wondering if you have to pay taxes.

    • ANSWER:
      Don't think there is any limit if you are really talking about unrefined gold.

      If you are talking about gold coins, or bullion, then there is still no limit, but, as that is money, or a form of money. However, you <> fill out a form for US customs if you bring in more than ,000 worth.

11. QUESTION:
    How much gold is in a class ring?
    I have a traditional men's class ring (18kt, size 9, total weight including garnet: 20.6g), and want to figure out how much gold is in it. It's hard for me to estimate it because I don't know how much the garnet weighs. Any ideas?
    Damn, where did that "no best answer" button go?

    • ANSWER:
      well since you said it is 18 kt, that is 75% pure (aka 75% of it is gold)

      however if you don't believe it is 18 kt, then:
      If you can't figure out how much the garnet weighs, then you're pretty much out of luck, but if somehow you could remove the garnet and just have the gold part, you can calculate the gold percentage from the density. simply weigh the gold, exactly, to 3 decimal places or higher, then put it in a precision calibrated tube of water, then see how much water the ring displaced (aka its volume), with mass+ volume, and knowing the volume/mass of pure gold, you can estimate how much if it is real.

12. QUESTION:
    How much gold can you legally carry on a plane without getting taxed?
    Hello i plan to take a flight to mexico and gold is a lot cheaper there then in usa and i want to bring some back and sell it how much am i legally able to carry back without getting taxed? feel free to also tell me loop holes in tax laws.

    • ANSWER:
      Here's the deal: You can bring in as much gold as you can afford, but if you're carrying more than ,000.00 worth of gold AND any other type of currency, you have to report it to Customs when you arrive. You don't have to pay tax on it; you just have to REPORT it. If you don't report it, or if you report it inaccurately, Customs can seize ALL of it.

      If you buy gold in Mexico and sell it in the U.S., you're technically required to pay capital gains tax on it. However, you may be able to avoid paying tax on it if you sell it in small increments. Best bet is to check the IRS website frequently asked questions -- http://www.irs.gov/

17. QUESTION:
    How much gold do you need to play xbox live?
    ok so im a game nerd and i was wondering how much gold do you need to play xbox live? is there a certain amount you need?

    • ANSWER:
      Can't be that much of a nerd, but the answer is as long as you've got Gold you can play all the features of Xbox Live.

      Xbox Live is the service though, not the subscription, so contrary to belief; you can have a Silver account and still have access to Xbox Live, just you won't be able to get all the discounteditems, or play a lot of games online, (you can play games such as Phantasy Star Universe and Final Fantasy XI online with a silver account, as they're subscription based).

      If playing games online is your bag; then you will need a Gold subscription, as long as you've got Gold, doesn't matter how long, you'll have all these features.

      Gold subcriptions are generally available on a 1 month auto-renewal through Xbox Live, or in 3 month and 12 month subscription cards, (you can also get 12 month subscriptions online, and also family subscriptions whch is a 12 month subscription for up to 4 profiles on the same console).

      Some games include 2 day trial cards, and some of the 12 month cards include a bonus month; so these are also bargains too.

      If you're a Silver subscriber and have a bank card assigned to your profile, Xbox sometimes offer discounts, such as 3 months Gold for £6, and 12 months Gold for £24.

20. QUESTION:
    How much gold is in the oceans ?
    I read somewhere that ocean water has gold in it. How much is there and how do I get it ?

    • ANSWER:
      The concentration of gold in seawater is about 11 parts per trillion. To get one gram of gold, you'd need to process about 91,000,000 kg (about 89,000 m^3, 35 olympic swimming pools) of water, assuming you could extract 100% of it. 1 gram of gold is worth US.

      The gold is present as ions, you'd need to either precipitate it using some chemical and then filter out the particles or filter the water through some membrane that will bind to gold.

21. QUESTION:
    How value the USD is, is it depend on how much gold you have?
    How value the USD is, is it depend on how much gold you have and that is what I understood it. I recently travel to thailand and they said that the USA don't need to have gold and my thai friend said the United States can just print money as much as they want. Please I need your help. Thank you!!! I need some prove how this money things work.

    • ANSWER:
      the USD is no longer backed by gold, and its value vs another country currency, depends on the relative strength of the country economy, trade surplus/deficit, balance of payments, etc. And, printing MORE money would only make the currency LESS value, e.g., if US govt doubles its money supply tomorrow, foreign suppliers would double the price to american buyers.

22. QUESTION:
    How much gold is to much gold for the world markets?
    I am writing a Sci-fi story where gold is found on an asteroid, I am wondering what a huge influx of gold to the world markets would do to the overall price of gold and how we use it today. What sort of reactions would there be if the gold we had doubled in amount?

    • ANSWER:
      Supply and demand. Look at copper or steel and industries usurping the use of such metals. Same with gold, more of it available less it will cost. If its volume is doubled in availability I doubt that it would still be cost effective for industries to substitute other metals for gold... therefore gold price might be on decline, but would find a certain plateau. If, on the other hand, an asteroid composed of gold, of massive size, matching that of copper deposits in the earth, lands on earth, gold will most certainly replace copper in many practical ways including it's price.

23. QUESTION:
    How much would this gold chain be worth?
    Its 14kt and has 18.6 grams of gold in it

    I have no idea how much gold is worth nowadays, so dont give me an equation to work out unless you can accurately fill in that variable

    Thanks

    • ANSWER:
      Ok, when we talk value we have to define the market. Are we talking about A.) Replacement value new.
      B.) Fair market value as is.
      C.) Gold or scrap value?
      The most active market for used chains is the gold or scrap value. Since your chain is 14K, that means it is approx 58.3% gold, the rest is copper and silver. So 18.6 grams x 58.3% = 10.84 grams net. If you're only selling the dealer one chain, he's probably going to offer about half its value, so that he can realize a profit by selling it to a refiner and make it worth while transaction for him. Based on today's closing gold price 4.40 per fine troy ounce, I would offer 7.44/gram (for 14K) x 18.6/ gram = 8.40. The most frequently occurring price in the marketplace (small volume scrap gold sales) determines the value.

24. QUESTION:
    How much gold would there have to be to bring the price of it down to 10 dollars an ounce?
    Trying to get details in the real world, for a science fiction story, where gold is as plentiful as iron is today.

    • ANSWER:
      Production costs are about 0 an ounce so you would have to have a scenario where a massive quantity of gold became available.

      If the price did start to fall, people would buy in bulk as it hit say 0 an ounce thinking they will make a profit when it climbs. If it became public knowledge that you had found 100,000 tonnes of gold which could be mined for an ounce then there would be panic selling but I think many people would hold on in disbelief to their ingots bout at or 900

25. QUESTION:
    How much Gold do they have at Fort Knox?
    And how much gold is there in the US?

    • ANSWER:
      Well it goes back to the original Founding Fathers and the meaning of the word "dollar". "Dollar" is actually a weight measure of silver, 371.25 grains, to be exact. Our American silver dollars are actually heavier, since other metals were added for durability. But that 371.25 grains of silver WAS the dollar, matching in weight an unbroken chain of accepted monetary units that reached back through the Spanish Milled Dollar, the Dutch Daller, back to the German Thaler; the product of a silver mine which sold its product in coins of an exact weight. The Coinage Act of 1792 defined our dollar to exactly match in weight the silver dollars in use around the world, and then defined the gold dollar to be that amount of gold which would equal the worth of silver in a silver dollar, 24.75 grains, 1/15 the weight of the silver in a silver dollar.

      So, what's wrong with this? Nothing really. When you, as a citizen, hold a silver dollar or a gold dollar in your hand, you hold that actual worth of metal. Nothing the government can do can change the worth of the money in your control.
      Of course, carrying around too much coin can be bothersome, so many nations, including our own, issued paper notes as a convenience. But that paper currency of the nation was just a convenience. The gold and silver certificates were merely "claim checks" for the equivalent weight of gold or silver held in the treasury, and which would be produced on demand when the certificate was presented. But in the end, the lawful dollar of the United States was 371.25 grains of silver, or 24.75 grains of gold.

      The problem with this system from the point of view of the government or the banks is that it limits the amount of money they can work with. When the bank runs out of silver or gold (or the equivalent certificates) it can no longer lend any more money with which to earn interest. When the government runs out of gold or silver (or the equivalent certificates) it can no longer spend money (just like the rest of us).

      The immediate effect of ending the gold standard was that with the paper dollar was no longer legally dependent on 371.25 grains of silver or 24.75 grains of gold, more paper dollars (now called "Federal Reserve Notes") could be printed, their worth no longer under the control of the citizens but under the control of the issuing central bank, based on the total number of dollars printed (or created as credit lines) divided by the worth of the nation's assetts.. The more dollars which are created out of thin air, the less each one is worth.

      The swindle of the system is simple. The Federal Reserve Bank hires the US Treasury to print up some money. The Federal Reserve only actually pays the treasury for the cost of the printing, they do NOT pay for each 1$ printed. But the Federal Reserve turns around and loans out that money (or credit line) to banks at full face value, those banks which have exhausted their deposits then loan that Federal Reserve fiat money to you, and you must repay it in the full dollar value (plus interest) in work product, even though the Federal Reserve printed that money for pennies, or created it out of thin air in a computer.

      As the Federal Reserve overprints more money, the money supply inflates, and too much money starts chasing too few goods and services, which means prices go up. But contrary to the charade put on by the Federal Reserve, inflation doesn't just come and go due to some arcane sorcery. The Federal Reserve can halt inflation any time it wants to by simply shutting down those printing presses. It therefore follows that both inflation and recession are fully under the control of the Federal Reserve.

      Over time, that excess of printing has destroyed the value of that dollar you think you have. If you want to know by just how much, go out and try to purchase 371.25 grains of silver right now. Usually, the deterioration is gradual. Sometimes, it has to be obvious, such as the 1985 devaluation (done to halt the trade imbalance) which triggered the Japanese real-estate grab in this country.

      Many politicians have attempted to reverse this process. John F. Kennedy issued an Executive Order 11110, requiring the Treasury Department to start printing and issuing silver certificates for the silver then remaining in the US Treasury.

      Kennedy decided that by returning to the constitution, which states that only Congress shall coin and regulate money, the soaring national debt could be reduced by not paying interest to the bankers of the Federal Reserve System, who print paper money then loan it to the government at interest. This was the reason he signed Executive Order 11110 which called for the issuance of ,292,893,815 in United States Notes through the U.S. Treasury rather than the Federal Reserve System.
      That same day, Kennedy signed a bill changing the backing of one and two dollar bills from silver to gold, adding strength to the weakened U.S. currency.

      Kennedy's comptroller of the currency, James J. Saxon, had been at odds with the powerful Federal Reserve Board for some time, encouraging broader investment and lending powers for banks that were not part of the Federal Reserve system. Saxon also had decided that non-Reserve banks could underwrite state and local general obligation bonds, again weakening the dominant Federal Reserve banks".

      Kennedy's E.O. was never implemented following his assassination, and shortly afterwards, United States silver coins were taken out of circulation and replaced with the copper clad slugs in use today. These two events, the failure to print new silver certificates, and the substitution of worthless slugs for our silver coins, may explain why the Warren Commission included on its panel John J. McCloy, a man with no experience in crime, law enforcement, or national security, but who had been the President of the Chase Manhattan Bank.

      It should be noted that the banks themselves are still using the gold standard. Accounts are still settled between major national banks by the transfer of gold bullion.

      So here we are with a bank that legally counterfeits the money you borrow but expects a full value (plus interest) repayment. But what's good for the Federal Reserve is good for the government itself, and this is where we get back into that funny word "deficit spending". The government spends more money than it takes in. It has for many years now. The Federal Reserve, being the only lawful source of this fiat money, prints up the excess cash the government needs (or manufactures a credit line in a computer). This extra cash is treated as a loan, in order to keep the government overspending from further eroding the worth of the dollar in the world market. The government (meaning the taxpayers) is on the hook for the full face value, plus interest.

      But there's another problem. The government is borrowing so much money that it drives the interest rates up! You pay MORE interest on your mortgage, car loan, and credit cards, because the government cannot balance its books. That extra interest you pay is therefore another hidden tax. The government, in its "generosity", gives you a tax credit on mortgage interest that is higher because of their own borrowing!

      During the 80s, as exports dropped, and jobs moved from manufacturing to lower paying "service sector" jobs, the US tax base declined. In order to keep the jobless rate from rising, a massive defense program called the Strategic Defense Initiative was cranked up, but since this program produced no exportable product, it produced no taxable sales revenues, and hence the money poured into the project accelerated the government decline into debt. Because manufacturing was on the decline, fewer start-up companies were approaching the lending institutions, so the government loosened up the rules (while increasing the insurable deposit limit) to allow "investments" in more high risk ventures, most of which turned out to be frauds, or worse, money laundering operations for drug criminals. This includes Whitewater, Flowerwood, and Castle Grande. Despite shifting the S&L loss primarily onto the taxpayers (to reassure foreign investors that the taxpayers still made America a safe place to park their surplus cash) the government plunged further into debt.

      In the 12 years of the Reagan/Bush(I) administrations, the United States went from being the world's largest creditor nation to the world's largest debtor. Many of those nations which had enjoyed huge trade surpluses started loaning that profit back to the United States with the stipulation that we work on our manufacturing, clean up our infrastructure, raise taxes, in short, clean up our act, so that investment in America makes sense!

26. QUESTION:
    How much gold is required to be mentioned on a federal map?
    I have a gold map from the U.S. government and State government, what is the minimum amount of gold that has to be found in an area, so that the government and state recognize it as a place where gold was found.

    • ANSWER:
      The gold country maps here in CA show all places where ANY gold has been reported. They don't even verify it - the idea is to encourage more people to go out looking for more.

      Don't rely on them, though - a LOT of people who make a decent find will give the assayer a false location anyway, because they don't want other people working their find.

      As a word though.... VERY few amateur prospectors even cover their expenses. I've been weekend panning on and off for years, and doubt I'd even cover the cost of the gas to get into the hills even if I sold everything I ever found.

      If this is based on your other question then you likely do not have gold and certainly not gold in crystal form. Google gold and google mica and select images and see if any of those images resemble your specimen.

34. QUESTION:
    I have blonde hair - just colored it and it has too much gold. How do I remove the gold tones?
    I just had my hair professionally colored and came away with gold/brassy tones in it. Is there a way to correct it easily without returning to the salon?

    • ANSWER:
      First of all, I'm not a hairstylist,a nd never have been...BUT my cousin works in the movies are a hair and makeup artist, so that's where I get my talents.

      First of all, to combat gold, there is a product you add to the dye to make sure this product doesn't occur. This should have been done by your stylist. For this reason, I think the stylist should make good on the money you paid them....also, they need to learn from their mistakes if they want to be come a great stylist, so unless you REALLY DON'T WANT TO GO BACK, I would just go. Bring a photo if you want and just explain how you feel. I've done it...it wasn't too bad. He was more embarassed than I was...he was the one who messed up.

      But maybe you feel your stylist just doesn't have the talent. If that's the case, to combat gold, use an ash blond color deposit shampoo if your hair is blond, or ash brown if your hair is brown. You can buy color deposit shampoos in most salons or beauty supply stores. A few good brands are Shades EQ by Redken, Paul Mitchell, and Aveda. They also make conditioners too, for even more color. For your problem, I'd leave it on a long time, like 5 minutes for both shampoo and conditioner. Keep using the products daily until you have the look you want--it might not look exactly right the first time. This doubly important if you have long hair--you don't want to fry it.

    How much gold is in Fort Knox, Kentucky?
    I know we were once on the gold standard. What has happened to all the gold and how much was there then and now?

    • ANSWER:
      Here's a link to the Treasury Department about the Fort Knox Bullion Depository. The U.S. Mint link tells how much is there now (notice the "book value" is around per ounce, nice profit in today's prices, eh?).

36. QUESTION:
    How much gold is in a tooth's gold crown?
    My real question is where does all the gold in teeth go when dead people are cremated? Does it all just melt down and into the ashes, or do the morticians pull the teeth and cash in on a gold mine?

    • ANSWER:
      The teeth most certainly are NOT removed. A gold mine? I somehow doubt the gold that is in a tooth is that valuable, and not only is that disgusting and unethical, but how much do you REALLY think that gold could be worth? Not enough to warrant the tedious task of actually removing a tooth should one be tempted to do so. Give us a little more credit, for the most part we are all respectable, compassionate people.
      After the cremation (and the gold has indeed melted) a large magnet is swept over the ashes to collect any metal bits. The reason for this is because the body is not reduced simply to ash, there are large bone fragments that remain and must be processed in a pulverizer to make them a uniform consistency. Therefore, the above answer is incorrect, you could NOT sift through and see gold bits, they wouldn't be there in the first place because they would damage the pulverizor.

37. QUESTION:
    Dungeons & Dragons: How much gold should a character start with per level?
    How much money should a starting character have? I don't mean 1st level. I mean at all levels. For example, I am planning a game were we will start at 25th level. So how much should a character start with? How much gold should you have at 1st, 10th 16th 30th etc etc . . .

    • ANSWER:
      on page 126 of the Dungeon masters guide, there is a list of appropriate treasure parcels for each level. A good rule for starting characters above level one is to add up the parcels up to that level and divide it among the characters, letting them spend it however they wish on magic items, armor, weapons, mounts, training, etc etc. This simulates the rewards from adventures (not played) up to that point in their lives.
      This does tend to add up to alot, but higher level items are also super duperexpensive

38. QUESTION:
    How Much Gold Would Have Bought a Brand-New 1930 Ford Model A?
    Today, a new Ford will cost you about 20 ounces of gold. In 1930, a new Ford cost you 0, or about 20 ounces of gold. The price of a new Ford has not changed one ounce in gold over 80 years.

    Do the cost of goods really go up, or does an increasing fiat money supply just make our dollars worth less and is nothing more than a massive, continuous hidden tax? Why do we really need the Fed?

    • ANSWER:
      It just shows that gold is a bad investment over time, since it does not go up in value.

      On the other hand it is a wise choice during chaotic financial events

41. QUESTION:
    How much Gold am I allowed to bring in to the US from Thailand at one time?
    I would like to bring 3 pounds of gold back to the states is this allowed if so will there be duties or taxs

    • ANSWER:
      That's a lot of gold. Even at the gold spot price, the value is more than US,000.

      If you are a returning US resident, you are generally allowed an 0 exemption. Everything past that will be subject to customs tariffs. if you are planning to bring in all that gold without declaring it and you are caught, you will have a very big problem. Your gold will probably be confiscated, you will be heavily fined, and you will also probably spend a lot of time explaining why you are smuggling in gold valued at more than ,000. Don't even think about it.

      Below is a link with the US Tariff Schedule. Look at Section 7113

    How much gold in the world?

    I calculated somewhere around 170,000 tonnes
    or 140 Trillion Dollars worth of gold. Does anyone have links to actual figures?

    • ANSWER:
      In 2005 the World Gold Council estimated total global gold supply to be 3,859 tonnes and demand to be 3,754 tonnes, giving a surplus of 105 tonnes.

      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold

      How big is a tonne of gold?
      Gold is traditionally weighed in Troy Ounces (31.1035 grammes). With the density of gold at 19.32 g/cm3, a troy ounce of gold would have a volume of 1.61 cm3. A metric tonne (equals 1,000kg = 32,150.72 troy ounces) of gold would therefore have a volume of 51,762 cm3 (i.e. 1.61 x 32,150.72), which would be equivalent to a cube of side 37.27cm (Approx. 1' 3'').

      http://www.gold.org/faq/
      ==============================
      If you took all of the gold in the world and put it in one place how much would there be?

      It is amazing, but the total amount of gold in the world is a surprisingly small quantity. Here's how you can calculate the total amount that is available.

      If you look at a page like this one, or if you look it up in an encyclopedia, you will find that the annual worldwide production of gold is something like 50 million troy ounces per year. Gold has a specific gravity of 19.3, meaning that it is 19.3 times heavier than water. So gold weighs 19.3 kilograms per liter. A liter is a cube that measures 10 centimeters (about 4 inches) on a side. There are 32.15 troy ounces in a kilogram. Therefore, the world produces a cube of gold that is about 4.3 meters (about 14 feet) on each side every year. In other words, all of the gold produced worldwide in one year could just about fit in the average person's living room!

      This cube weighs 1,555,210 kilograms (3,110,420 pounds). A recent spot price for gold was 6.10 U.S. -- using that number, all of the gold produced in a year is worth ,805,000,000. That's a lot of money, but not an unimaginable amount. For example, that's about how much the Pentagon spent launching the GPS satellite system. NASA's budget in 1998 was .6 billion.

      Figuring out the total amount of gold that has been produced by man is a little harder. To get at some kind of estimate, let's figure that the world has been producing gold at 50 million ounces a year for 200 years. That number is probably a little high, but when you figure that the Aztecs and the Egyptians produced a fair amount of gold for a long time, it's probably not too far off. Fifty million ounces * 200 years = 10 billion ounces. Ten billion ounces of gold would fit into a cube roughly 25 meters (about 82 feet) on a side. Consider that the Washington Monument measures 55 feet by 55 feet at its base and is 555 feet tall (17 x 17 x 170 m). That means that if you could somehow gather every scrap of gold that man has ever mined into one place, you could only build about one-third of the Washington Monument.

      How much money is "all the money in the world"?
      To make this question answerable in a finite amount of time, let's make a simplification and ask, "How much money is there in the United States?" Since the statistics for the U.S. are easy to come by, we can look at it in a couple of different ways.

      The first way to look at it might be, "How much cash is there in U.S. currency?" If you took all the bills and coins floating around today, how much money is that? According to the Federal Reserve, the current number is very close to half a trillion dollars. This page shows the total amount of currency available by month since 1959. That sounds like an incredible amount, but think about it this way: In 1990, there were about 250,000,000 people in the U.S. (see this page). If you took all the cash and divided it up equally, each person would only get about ,000. Obviously there is more money floating around than that.

      The rest of the money is held in various types of bank accounts, and the Federal Reserve tracks these funds in three different values: the M1, M2 and M3 money supplies:

      M1 is all of the currency, plus all of the money held in checking accounts and other checkable accounts, as well as all of the money in travelers checks. In September 1999, the M1 money supply was about ,100 billion.
      M2 is M1 plus all of the money held in money market funds, savings accounts and small CDs. In September 1999, the M2 money supply was about ,600 billion.
      M3 is M2 plus all of the large CDs. In September 1999, it was about ,250 billion.
      See this page for details.
      So if you wanted all of the money in the United States, what you would ask for is M3 -- and you would get about 6 trillion dollars! How much money is that? It's a lot... But if you look at the U.S. federal budget for 2000, you will see that it is only enough money to run the U.S. federal government for a few years.

49. QUESTION:
    how much gold is on a 24k gold 45 rpm record?
    I have these (3) 45 rpm 24k gold records. With today's gold prices, would it be worth melting them down for the gold? How would I do that?

    • ANSWER:
      Measure the maximum and minimum thickness of the record with a micrometer, come to a reasonable conclusion of the average between the two, find the outer diameter, find the diameter of the hole in the middle, use all of that to determine the volume of 24k gold you have, find the value of gold by volume of 24k, and do some 4th grade math.

      OR: weight the thing, estimate the weight of plastic and other non-gold elements in the record, find the value of 24k gold by weight, and do some 4th grade math.

50. QUESTION:
    How much gold will be required to make 4 bangles of mean diameter 12 cm?
    from a circular gold wire which has 3mm diameter. Suppose the density of gold is 20 gram per cubic centimeter.
    A)193.2 g
    B)213.2 g
    C)233.2 g
    D)263.2 g

    • ANSWER:
      Hello

      Length of 1 bangle : 2pi*6
      Length of 4 bangles: 8pi*6 = 48pi cm

      Volume = pi*0,15^2*48pi
      V = pi^2*0,15^2*48 cm^3

      Mass = pi^2*0,15^2*48*20 g
      Mass = 213,183 g
