The tip of a pencil or the writing part of a pencil is called graphite.
The volume is the length of the pencil multiplied by the cross sectional area. Cross Sectional Area = pi * radius2 in this case the radius is half the diameter, which is 0.15cm So, Cross Sectional Area = pi * (0.15 * 0.15) = 0.0707 cm2 So the total volume is 7cm * 0.0707 cm2 which is 0.4948 cm3
