    Thank you for posting your question to the Ask Me Help Desk.

    Rather than solving this for you, I will provide some guidance.

    Here are the steps that I would take to solve this problem.

    1. Find the volume of the piece of aluminum. Based on the given information I would use a formula for the volume of a cylinder.

    2. Do some research to find the density of aluminum.

    3. Use the formula for density using the data collected from 1 and 2 above to solve for the mass.
