Homework Statement
There is a cylinder with two sections (not straight down the middle). One has density 4.5(g/cm^3) the other with 6.4. The radius of the cylinder is 6cm and the total length is 19cm. The total mass is 11833 grams. I need to find the length of the lighter density section of the cylinder.
Homework Equations
A of circle = pi*r^2
V = B*h
D = m/v
The Attempt at a Solution
I could easily solve this problem if I knew the steps to take. The total volume is about 113 cm^3, but I don't see how I can apply that information. Also, am I correct in thinking that densities cannot be combined? Sorry for the measly attempt, it is just that I am unable to find a way to solve this. The math should be easy. I just need a plan.
