Silicon for computer chips is grown in large cylinders called "boules" that are 300 in diameter and 2 in height. The density of silicon is 2.33 . Silicon wafers for making integrated circuits are sliced from a 2.0 boule and are typically 0.75 thick and 300 in diameter. How many wafers can be cut from a single boule? What is the mass of a silicon wafer? (The volume of a cylinder is given by , where is the radius and is its height.)
