My daughter had this as a science question. We went about it the following way:
Determine the volume of the tree (cone shape): 1/2 (Pi)(r-squared)(height)
Determine the volume of 1 pine needle (prism shaped?): 1/2 (alt)(base)(length)
Divide the volume of the needle into the volume of the tree
Make assumption as to how much of the tree's volume is wood and air and subtract it...
Tree: 1/2(3.14)(24*24)(96) - 2 feet radius and 8 ft tree converted to inches
Tree Vol: 57,876 inches (rounded)
Pine Needle Vol: 1/2 inch long, 1/32 in wide, 1/64 in height
Pine Needle Vol: (.5*.03125*.0156*)*.5 = .000122 inches
How many needles would fill the vol of the tree? 57876/.000122
WOW!!!: 474,174,124 needles BUT...
There is a lot of air and wood that make up the volume of the tree. How much? I assume 7/8 is air and wood and 1/8 of the volume is needles:
474,174,124*.125= 55,927,176
