where radius = diameter / 2 and height is given in meters.
Volume = π * (10m / 2)^2 * 2700m
Volume ≈ 354,177.66 cubic meters
The density of ice is approximately 917 kilograms per cubic meter.
Weight of ice extracted = Volume * Density of ice
So, the weight of the ice extracted from the hole is approximately 324,856,152.42 kilograms.
Greta must be fuming.
In all seriousness though, ice cores are a few inches in diameter, not 10 meters. Unless they take one of those tunnel boring machines and send it vertically down through earth.
