OK, so I'm not senile just yet. ;)
What would be the total weight of an eighteen meter diameter
cream pie? No tin.
Depth?
If we go rule of thumb and figure a pie to be about 1/6 its diameter for
depth, we're looking at 3m or so for the depth of the pie. So we have
something that occupies perhaps πr^2 * h for the volume, or about 900
cubic meters of volume. If one cubic decimeter of water weighs a kilo,
and if a cream pie volume-for-volume weighs about the same as water,
we're looking at a pie that weighs nearly 10 million kilos ( 1000*900 ).
Cream pie has a noticeably lower density than water.
Am I going to have to go to Marie Callender's later this week to buy
some for the purpose of determining density? :)
