Question 1:

Find the volume, lateral surface area and the total surface area of the cuboid whose dimensions are:
(i) length = 22 cm, breadth = 12 cm and height = 7.5 cm
(ii) length = 15 m, breadth = 6 m and height = 9 dm
(iii) length = 24 m, breadth = 25 cm and height = 6 m
(iv) length = 48 cm, breadth = 6 dm and height = 1 m

Answer:

Volume of a cuboid $= (L e n g t h \times B r e a d t h \times H e i g h t)$ cubic units
Total surface area $= 2 (l b + b h + l h)$ sq units
Lateral surface area $= [2 (l + b) \times h]$ sq units

(i) Length = 22 cm, breadth = 12 cm, height = 7.5 cm
Volume $= (L e n g t h \times B r e a d t h \times H e i g h t)$ = $(22 \times 12 \times 7.5) = 1980 c m^{3}$
Total surface area $= 2 (l b + b h + l h)$ $= 2 [(22 \times 12) + (22 \times 7.5) + (12 \times 7.5)] = 2 [264 + 165 + 90] = 1038 c m^{2}$
Lateral surface area $= [2 (l + b) \times h]$ $= 2 (22 + 12) \times 7.5 = 510 c m^{2}$

(ii) Length = 15 m, breadth = 6 m, height = 9 dm = 0.9 m
Volume $= (L e n g t h \times B r e a d t h \times H e i g h t)$ = $(15 \times 6 \times 0.9) = 81 m^{3}$
Total surface area $= 2 (l b + b h + l h)$ $= 2 [(15 \times 6) + (15 \times 0.9) + (6 \times 0.9)] = 2 [90 + 13.5 + 5.4] = 217.8 m^{2}$
Lateral surface area $= [2 (l + b) \times h]$ $= 2 (15 + 6) \times 0.9 = 37.8 m^{2}$

(iii) Length = 24 m, breadth = 25 cm = 0.25 m, height = 6 m
Volume $= (L e n g t h \times B r e a d t h \times H e i g h t)$ = $(24 \times 0.25 \times 6) = 36 m^{3}$
Total surface area $= 2 (l b + b h + l h)$ $= 2 [(24 \times 0.25) + (24 \times 6) + (0.25 \times 6)] = 2 [6 + 144 + 1.5] = 303 m^{2}$
Lateral surface area $= [2 (l + b) \times h]$ $= 2 (24 + 0.25) \times 6 = 291 m^{2}$

(iv) Length = 48 cm = 0.48 m, breadth = 6 dm = 0.6 m, height = 1 m
Volume $= (L e n g t h \times B r e a d t h \times H e i g h t)$ = $(0.48 \times 0.6 \times 1) = 0.288 m^{3}$
Total surface area $= 2 (l b + b h + l h)$ $= 2 [(0.48 \times 0.6) + (0.48 \times 1) + (0.6 \times 1)] = 2 [0.288 + 0.48 + 0.6] = 2.736 m^{2}$
Lateral surface area $= [2 (l + b) \times h]$ $= 2 (0.48 + 0.6) \times 1 = 2.16 m^{2}$

Question 2:

The dimensions of a rectangular water tank are 2 m 75 cm by 1 m 80 cm by 1 m 40 cm. How many litres of water does it hold when filled to the brim?

Answer:

$1 m = 100 c m$
Therefore, dimensions of the tank are:
$2 m 75 c m \times 1 m 80 c m \times 1 m 40 c m = 275 c m \times 180 c m \times 140 c m$
∴ Volume = $Length \times Breadth \times Height = 275 \times 180 \times 140 = 6930000 {cm}^{3}$

Also, $1000 c m^{3} = 1 L$

∴ Volume $= \frac{6930000}{1000} = 6930 L$

Question 3:

A solid rectangular piece of iron measures 1.05 m × 70 cm × 1.5 cm. Find the weight of this piece in kilograms if 1 cm³ of iron weighs 8 grams.

Answer:

$1 m = 100 c m$
∴ Dimensions of the iron piece = $105 cm \times 70 cm \times 1.5 cm$
Total volume of the piece of iron $= (105 \times 70 \times 1.5) = 11025 c m^{3}$
1 cm³ measures 8 gms.
∴Weight of the piece $= 11025 \times 8 = 88200 g = \frac{88200}{1000} = 88.2 k g (b e c a u s e 1 k g = 1000 g)$

The area of a courtyard is 3750 m². Find the cost of covering it with gravel to a height of 1 cm if the gravel costs Rs 6.40 per cubic metre.

Answer:

$1 c m = 0.01 m$
Volume of the gravel used $= Area \times H eight = (3750 \times 0.01) = 37.5 m^{3}$
Cost of the gravel is Rs 6.40 per cubic meter.
∴ Total cost $= (37.5 \times 6.4) =$ Rs 240

Answer:

Volume occupied by a single matchbox $= (4 \times 2.5 \times 1.5) = 15 c m^{3}$

Volume of a packet containing 144 matchboxes $= (15 \times 144) = 2160 c m^{3}$

Volume of the carton $= (150 \times 84 \times 60) = 756000 c m^{3}$

Total number of packets is a carton $= \frac{Volume of the carton}{Volume of a packet} = \frac{75600}{2160} = 350$ packets

Question 8:

How many planks of size 2 m × 25 cm × 8 cm can be prepared from a wooden block 5 m long, 70 cm broad and 32 cm thick, assuming that there is no wastage?

Answer:

Total volume of the block $= (500 \times 70 \times 32) = 1120000 c m^{3}$

Total volume of each plank $= 200 \times 25 \times 8 = 40000 c m^{3}$ $= 200 \times 25 \times 8 = 40000 c m^{3}$

∴ Total number of planks that can be made $= \frac{Total volume of the block}{Volume of each plank} = \frac{1120000}{40000} = 28$ planks

Question 9:

How many bricks, each of size 25 cm × 13.5 cm × 6 cm, will be required to build a wall 8 m long, 5.4 m high and 33 cm thick?

Answer:

Volume of the brick $= 25 \times 13.5 \times 6 = 2025 c m^{3}$
Volume of the wall $= 800 \times 540 \times 33 = 14256000 c m^{3}$

Total number of bricks $= \frac{Volume of the wall}{Volume of each brick} = \frac{14256000}{2025} = 7040$ bricks

Page No 222:

Question 10:

A wall 15 m long, 30 cm wide and 4 m high is made of bricks, each measuring 22 cm × 12.5 cm × 7.5 cm. If $\frac{1}{12}$ of the total volume of the wall consists of mortar, how many bricks are there in the wall?

Answer:

Volume of the wall $= 1500 \times 30 \times 400 = 18000000 c m^{3}$
Total quantity of mortar $= \frac{1}{12} \times 18000000 = 1500000 c m^{3}$
∴ Volume of the bricks $= 18000000 - 1500000 = 16500000 c m^{3}$

Volume of a single brick $= 22 \times 12.5 \times 7.5 = 2062.5 c m^{3}$

∴ Total number of bricks $= \frac{Total volume of the bricks}{Volume of a single brick} = \frac{16500000}{2062.5} = 8000$ bricks

Question 20:

Find the volume of wood used to make a closed box of outer dimensions 60 cm × 45 cm × 32 cm, the thickness of wood being 2.5 cm all around.

Answer:

External length = 60 cm
External width = 45 cm
External height = 32 cm

External volume of the box $= 60 \times 45 \times 32 = 86400 {cm}^{3}$

Thickness of wood = 2.5 cm

∴ Internal length $= 60 - (2.5 \times 2) = 55$ cm
Internal width $= 45 - (2.5 \times 2) = 40$ cm
Internal height $= 32 - (2.5 \times 2) = 27$ cm

Internal volume of the box $= 55 \times 40 \times 27 = 59400 {cm}^{3}$

Volume of wood = External volume - Internal volume $= 86400 - 59400 = 27000 {cm}^{3}$

Question 21:

Find the volume of iron required to make an open box whose external dimensions are 36 cm × 25 cm × 16.5 cm, the box being 1.5 cm thick throughout. If 1 cm³ of iron weighs 8.5 grams, find the weight of the empty box in kilograms.

Answer:

External length = 36 cm
External width = 25 cm
External height = 16.5 cm

External volume of the box $= 36 \times 25 \times 16.5 = 14850 {cm}^{3}$

Thickness of iron = 1.5 cm

∴ Internal length $= 36 - (1.5 \times 2) = 33$ cm
Internal width $= 25 - (1.5 \times 2) = 22$ cm
Internal height $= 16.5 - 1.5 = 15$ cm (as the box is open)

Internal volume of the box $= 33 \times 22 \times 15 = 10890 {cm}^{3}$

Volume of iron = External volume − Internal volume $= 14850 - 10890 = 3960 {cm}^{3}$

Given:
${1 cm}^{3} of iron = 8.5 grams$

Total weight of the box $= 3960 \times 8.5 = 33660 grams = 33.66 kilograms$

Question 22:

A box with a lid is made of wood which is 3 cm thick. Its external length, breadth and height are 56 cm, 39 cm and 30 cm respectively. Find the capacity of the box. Also find the volume of wood used to make the box.

Answer:

External length = 56 cm
External width = 39 cm
External height = 30 cm

External volume of the box $= 56 \times 39 \times 30 = 65520 {cm}^{3}$

Thickness of wood = 3 cm

∴ Internal length $= 56 - (3 \times 2) = 50$ cm
Internal width $= 39 - (3 \times 2) = 33$ cm
Internal height $= 30 - (3 \times 2) = 24$ cm

Capacity of the box = Internal volume of the box $= 50 \times 33 \times 24 = 39600 {cm}^{3}$

Volume of wood = External volume − Internal volume $= 65520 - 39600 = 25920 {cm}^{3}$

Page No 223:

Question 23:

The external dimensions of a closed wooden box are 62 cm, 30 cm and 18 cm. If the box is made of 2-cm-thick wood, find the capacity of the box.

Answer:

External length = 62 cm
External width = 30 cm
External height = 18 cm

∴ External volume of the box $= 62 \times 30 \times 18 = 33480 c m^{3}$

Thickness of the wood = 2 cm

Now, internal length $= 62 - (2 \times 2) = 58$ cm
Internal width $= 30 - (2 \times 2) = 26$ cm
Internal height $= 18 - (2 \times 2) = 14$ cm

∴ Capacity of the box = internal volume of the box $= (58 \times 26 \times 14) c m^{3} = 21112 c m^{3}$

Page No 223:

Question 24:

A closed wooden box 80 cm long, 65 cm wide and 45 cm high, is made of 2.5-cm-thick wood. Find the capacity of the box and its weight if 100 cm³ of wood weighs 8 g.

Answer:

External length = 80 cm
External width = 65 cm
External height = 45 cm

∴ External volume of the box $= 80 \times 65 \times 45 = 234000 c m^{3}$

Thickness of the wood = 2.5 cm

Then internal length $= 80 - (2.5 \times 2) = 75$ cm
Internal width $= 65 - (2.5 \times 2) = 60$ cm
Internal height $= 45 - (2.5 \times 2) = 40$ cm

Capacity of the box = internal volume of the box $= (75 \times 60 \times 40) c m^{3} = 180000 c m^{3}$

Volume of the wood = external volume − internal volume $= (234000 - 180000) c m^{3} = 54000 c m^{3}$

It is given that $100 {cm}^{3} of wood weighs 8 g .$

∴ Weight of the wood $= \frac{54000}{100} \times 8 g = 4320 g = 4.32 kg$

(i) 7 m
(ii) 5.6 cm
(iii) 8 dm 5 cm

Answer:

(i) Length of the edge of the cube = a = 7 m
Now, we have the following:
â€‹Volume $= a^{3} = 7^{3} = 343 m^{3}$
Lateral surface area $= 4 a^{2} = 4 \times 7 \times 7 = 196 m^{2}$
Total Surface area $= 6 a^{2} = 6 \times 7 \times 7 = 294 m^{2}$

(ii) Length of the edge of the cube = a = 5.6 cm
â€‹Now, we have the following:
Volume $= a^{3} = 5 . 6^{3} = 175.616 c m^{3}$
Lateral surface area $= 4 a^{2} = 4 \times 5.6 \times 5.6 = 125.44 c m^{2}$
Total Surface area $= 6 a^{2} = 6 \times 5.6 \times 5.6 = 188.16 c m^{2}$

(iii) Length of the edge of the cube = a = 8 dm 5 cm = 85 cm
â€‹Now, we have the following:
Volume $= a^{3} = 85^{3} = 614125 c m^{3}$
Lateral surface area $= 4 a^{2} = 4 \times 85 \times 85 = 28900 c m^{2}$
Total Surface area $= 6 a^{2} = 6 \times 85 \times 85 = 43350 c m^{2}$

Question 28:

The dimensions of a metal block are 2.25 m by 1.5 m by 27 cm. It is melted and recast into cubes, each of side 45 cm. How many cubes are formed?

Answer:

1 m = 100 cm
Volume of the original block $= 225 \times 150 \times 27 = 911250 c m^{3}$

Length of the edge of one cube = 45 cm
Then volume of one cube $= 45^{3} = 91125 c m^{3}$

∴ Total number of blocks that can be cast $= \frac{volume of the block}{volume of one cube} = \frac{911250}{91125} = 10$

Page No 223:

Question 29:

If the length of each edge of a cube is doubled, how many times does its volume become? How many times does its surface area become?

Answer:

Let a be the length of the edge of a cube.
Volume of the cube $= a^{3}$
Total surface area $= 6 a^{2}$

If the length is doubled, then the new length becomes 2a.
Now, new volume $= (2 a)^{3} = 8 a^{3}$
Also, new surface area= $= 6 (2 a)^{2} = 6 \times 4 a^{2} = 24 a^{2}$
∴ The volume is increased by a factor of 8, while the surface area increases by a factor of 4.

Question 30:

A solid cubical block of fine wood costs Rs 256 at Rs 500 per m². Find its volume and the length of each side.

Answer:

Cost of wood = Rs $500 / m^{3}$

Cost of the given block = Rs 256

∴ Volume of the given block $= a^{3} = \frac{256}{500} = 0.512 m^{3} = 512000 {cm}^{3}$

Also, length of its edge = a $= \sqrt[3]{0.512} = 0.8 m$ = 80 cm

Question 1:

Find the volume, curved surface area and total surface area of each of the cylinders whose dimensions are:
(i) radius of the base = 7 cm and height = 50 cm
(ii) radius of the base = 5.6 m and height = 1.25 m
(iii) radius of the base = 14 dm and height = 15 m

Answer:

Volume of a cylinder = $π r^{2} h$
Lateral surface $= 2 π r h$
Total surface area $= 2 π r (h + r)$

(i) Base radius = 7 cm; height = 50 cm
Now, we have the following:
Volume $= \frac{22}{7} \times 7 \times 7 \times 50 = 7700 c m^{3}$
Lateral surface area $= 2 π r h$ $= 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 7 \times 50 = 2200 c m^{2}$
Total surface area $= 2 π r (h + r)$ $= 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 7 (50 + 7) = 2508 c m^{2}$

(ii) Base radius = 5.6 m; height = 1.25 m
Now, we have the following:
Volume $= \frac{22}{7} \times 5.6 \times 5.6 \times 1.25 = 123.2 m^{3}$
Lateral surface area $= 2 π r h$ $= 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 5.6 \times 1.25 = 44 m^{2}$
Total surface area $= 2 π r (h + r)$ $= 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 5.6 (1.25 + 5.6) = 241.12 m^{2}$

(iii) Base radius = 14 dm = 1.4 m, height = 15 m
Now, we have the following:
Volume $= \frac{22}{7} \times 1.4 \times 1.4 \times 15 = 92.4 m^{3}$
Lateral surface area $= 2 π r h$ $= 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 1.4 \times 15 = 132 m^{2}$
Total surface area $= 2 π r (h + r)$ $= 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 1.4 (15 + 1.4) = 144.32 c m^{2}$

Question 3:

A wooden cylindrical pole is 7 m high and its base radius is 10 cm. Find its weight if the wood weighs 225 kg per cubic metre.

Answer:

Height = 7 m
Radius = 10 cm = 0.1 m
Volume $= {πr}^{2} h = \frac{22}{7} \times 0.1 \times 0.1 \times 7 = 0.22 m^{3}$
Weight of wood = 225 kg/m³
∴ Weight of the pole $= 0.22 \times 225 = 49.5 k g$

Question 4:

Find the height of the cylinder whose volume is 1.54 m³ and diameter of the base is 140 cm?

Answer:

Diameter = 2r = 140 cm
i.e., radius, r = 70 cm = 0.7 m

Now, volume â€‹ $= {πr}^{2} h = 1.54 m^{3}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{22}{7} \times 0.7 \times 0.7 \times h = 1.54 ∴ h = \frac{1.54 \times 7}{0.7 \times 0.7 \times 22} = \frac{154 \times 7}{154 \times 7} = 1 m$

Question 5:

The volume of a circular iron rod of length 1 m is 3850 cm³. Find its diameter.

Answer:

Volume $= {πr}^{2} h = 3850 {cm}^{3}$
Height = 1 m =100 cm

Now, radius, $r = \sqrt{\frac{3850}{π \times h}} = \sqrt{\frac{3850 \times 7}{22 \times 100}} = 1.75 \times 7 = 3.5 c m$

Answer:

Diameter = 14 m
Radius $= \frac{14}{2} = 7 m$
Height = 5 m

∴ Area of the metal sheet required = total surface area

$= 2 πr (h + r) = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 7 (5 + 7) m^{2} = 44 \times 12 m^{2} = 528 m^{2}$

Question 7:

The circumference of the base of a cylinder is 88 cm and its height is 60 cm. Find the volume of the cylinder and its curved surface area.

Answer:

Circumference of the base = 88 cm
Height = 60 cm

Area of the curved surface $= c i r c u m f e r e n c e \times h e i g h t = 88 \times 60 = 5280 c m^{2}$
Circumference $= 2 πr = 88 c m$
Then radius $= r = \frac{88}{2 π} = \frac{88 \times 7}{2 \times 22} = 14 c m$
∴ Volume $= {πr}^{2} h = \frac{22}{7} \times 14 \times 14 \times 60 = 36960 {cm}^{3}$

Question 8:

The lateral surface area of a cylinder of length 14 m is 220 m². Find the volume of the cylinder.

Answer:

Length = height = 14 m
Lateral surface area $= 2 πrh = 220 m^{2}$
Radius $= r = \frac{220}{2 πh} = \frac{220 \times 7}{2 \times 22 \times 14} = \frac{10}{4} = 2.5 m$
∴ Volume $= {πr}^{2} h = \frac{22}{7} \times 2.5 \times 2.5 \times 14 = 275 m^{3}$

Page No 227:

Question 9:

The volume of a cylinder of height 8 cm is 1232 cm³. Find its curved surface area and the total surface area.

Answer:

Height = 8 cm
Volume $= {πr}^{2} h = 1232 {cm}^{3}$
Now, radius $= r = \sqrt{\frac{1232}{πh}} = \sqrt{\frac{1232 \times 7}{22 \times 8}} = \sqrt{49} = 7 c m$
Also, curved surface area $= 2 πrh = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 7 \times 8 = 352 {cm}^{2}$
∴ Total surface area $= 2 πr (h + r) = (2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 7 \times 8) + (2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times {(7)}^{2}) = 352 + 308 = 660 {cm}^{2}$

Question 10:

The radius and height of a cylinder are in the ratio 7 : 2. If the volume of the cylinder is 8316 cm³, find the total surface area of the cylinder.

Answer:

We have: $\frac{r a d i u s}{h e i g h t} = \frac{7}{2}$
i.e., $r = \frac{7}{2} h$
Now, volume $= {πr}^{2} h = π {(\frac{7}{2} h)}^{2} h = 8316 {cm}^{3}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{22}{7} \times \frac{7}{2} \times \frac{7}{2} \times h^{3} = 8316 \Rightarrow h^{3} = \frac{8316 \times 2}{11 \times 7} = 108 \times 2 = 216 \Rightarrow h = \sqrt[3]{216} = 6 c m$

Then $r = \frac{7}{2} h = \frac{7}{2} \times 6 = 21 c m$
∴ Total surface area $= 2 πr (h + r) = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 21 \times (6 + 21) = 3564 {cm}^{2}$

Question 11:

The curved surface area of a cylinder is 4400 cm² and the circumference of its base is 110 cm. Find the volume of the cylinder.

Answer:

Curved surface area $= 2 π r h = 4400 c m^{2}$
Circumference $= 2 πr = 110 cm$
Now, height $= h = \frac{c u r v e d s u r f a c e a r e a}{c i r c u m f e r e n c e} = \frac{4400}{110} = 40 c m$

Also, radius, $r = \frac{4400}{2 πh} = \frac{4400 \times 7}{2 \times 22 \times 40} = \frac{35}{2}$

∴ Volume $= {πr}^{2} h = \frac{22}{7} \times \frac{35}{2} \times \frac{35}{2} \times 40 = 22 \times 5 \times 35 \times 10 = 38500 {cm}^{3}$

Question 12:

A particular brand of talcum powder is available in two packs, a plastic can with a square base of side 5 cm and of height 14 cm, or one with a circular base of radius 3.5 cm and of height 12 cm. Which of them has greater capacity and by how much?

Answer:

For the cubic pack:
Length of the side, a = 5 cm
Height = 14 cm
Volume $= a^{2} h = 5 \times 5 \times 14 = 350 c m^{3}$

For the cylindrical pack:
Base radius $= r = 3.5 c m$
Height = 12 cm
Volume $= {πr}^{2} h = \frac{22}{7} \times 3.5 \times 3.5 \times 12 = 462 c m^{3}$

We can see that the pack with a circular base has a greater capacity than the pack with a square base.
Also, difference in volume $= 462 - 350 = 112 c m^{3}$

Question 13:

Find the cost of painting 15 cylindrical pillars of a building at Rs 2.50 per square metre if the diameter and height of each pillar are 48 cm and 7 metres respectively.

Answer:

Diameter = 48 cm
Radius = 24 cm = 0.24 m
Height = 7 m

Now, we have:
Lateral surface area of one pillar $= πdh = \frac{22}{7} \times 0.48 \times 7 = 10.56 m^{2}$
Surface area to be painted = total surface area of 15 pillars $= 10.56 \times 15 = 158.4 m^{2}$
∴ Total cost $= Rs (158.4 \times 2.5) = Rs 396$

Question 14:

A rectangular vessel 22 cm by 16 cm by 14 cm is full of water. If the total water is poured into an empty cylindrical vessel of radius 8 cm, find the height of water in the cylindrical vessel.

Answer:

Volume of the rectangular vessel $= 22 \times 16 \times 14 = 4928 c m^{3}$
Radius of the cylindrical vessel = 8 cm
Volume $= {πr}^{2} h$

As the water is poured from the rectangular vessel to the cylindrical vessel, we have:
Volume of the rectangular vessel = volume of the cylindrical vessel

∴ Height of the water in the cylindrical vessel $= \frac{v o l u m e}{{πr}^{2}} = \frac{4928 \times 7}{22 \times 8 \times 8} = \frac{28 \times 7}{8} = \frac{49}{2} = 24.5 c m$

Question 15:

A piece of ductile metal is in the form of a cylinder of diameter 1 cm and length 11 cm. It is drawn out into a wire of diameter 1 mm. What will be the length of the wire so obtained?

Answer:

Diameter of the given wire = 1 cm
Radius = 0.5 cm
Length = 11 cm
Now, volume $= {πr}^{2} h = \frac{22}{7} \times 0.5 \times 0.5 \times 11 = 8.643 c m^{3}$
The volumes of the two cylinders would be the same.
Now, diameter of the new wire = 1 mm = 0.1 cm
Radius = 0.05 cm
∴ New length $= \frac{volume}{{πr}^{2}} = \frac{8.643 \times 7}{22 \times 0.05 \times 0.05} = 1100.02 c m$ ≅ 11 m

Question 16:

A solid cube of metal each of whose sides measures 2.2 cm is melted to form a cylindrical wire of radius 1 mm. Find the length of the wire so obtained.

Answer:

Length of the edge, a = 2.2 cm
Volume of the cube $= a^{3} = {(2.2)}^{3} = 10.648 c m^{3}$
Volume of the wire $= {πr}^{2} h$
Radius = 1 mm = 0.1 cm
As volume of cube = volume of wire, we have:

$h = \frac{v o l u m e}{{πr}^{2}} = \frac{10.648 \times 7}{22 \times 0.1 \times 0.1} = 338.8 c m$

Question 17:

How many cubic metres of earth must be dug out to sink a well which is 20 m deep and has a diameter of 7 metres? If the earth so dug out is spread over a rectangular plot 28 m by 11 m, what is the height of the platform so formed?

Answer:

Diameter = 7 m
Radius = 3.5 m
â€‹Depth = 20 m

â€‹Volume of the earth dug out $= {πr}^{2} h = \frac{22}{7} \times 3.5 \times 3.5 \times 20 = 770 m^{3}$
Volume of the earth piled upon the given plot $= 28 \times 11 \times h = 770 m^{3}$

$∴ h = \frac{770}{28 \times 11} = \frac{70}{28} = 2.5 m$

Question 18:

A well of inner diameter 14 m is dug to a depth of 12 m. Earth taken out of it has been evenly spread all around it to a width of 7 m to form an embankment. Find the height of the embankment so formed.

Answer:

Inner diameter = 14 m
i.e., radius = 7 m
Depth = 12 m
â€‹Volume of the earth dug out $= {πr}^{2} h = \frac{22}{7} \times 7 \times 7 \times 12 = 1848 m^{3}$

Width of embankment = 7 m
Now, total radius $= 7 + 7 = 14 m$

$Volume of the embankment = total volume - inner volume = {πr}_{o}^{2} h - {πr}_{i}^{2} h = πh ({r_{o}}^{2} - {r_{i}}^{2}) = \frac{22}{7} h (14^{2} - 7^{2}) = \frac{22}{7} h (196 - 49) = \frac{22}{7} h \times 147 = 21 \times 22 h = 462 \times h m^{3}$

Since volume of embankment = volume of earth dug out, we have:
$1848 = 462 h$
$\Rightarrow h = \frac{1848}{462} = 4 m$
∴ Height of the embankment = 4 m

Question 19:

A road roller takes 750 complete revolutions to move once over to level a road. Find the area of the road if the diameter of the road roller is 84 cm and its length is 1 m.

Answer:

Diameter = 84 cm
i.e., radius = 42 cm
Length = 1 m = 100 cm
Now, lateral surface area $= 2 πrh = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 42 \times 100 = 26400 {cm}^{2}$
∴ Area of the road $= lateral surface area \times no . of rotations = 26400 \times 750 = 19800000 {cm}^{2} = 1980 m^{2}$

Question 20:

A cylinder is open at both ends and is made of 1.5-cm-thick metal. Its external diameter is 12 cm and height is 84 cm. What is the volume of metal used in making the cylinder? Also, find the weight of the cylinder if 1 cm³ of the metal weighs 7.5 g.

Answer:

Thickness of the cylinder = 1.5 cm
External diameter = 12 cm
i.e., radius = 6 cm
also, internal radius = 4.5 cm
Height = 84 cm

Now, we have the following:
Total volume $= {πr}^{2} h = \frac{22}{7} \times 6 \times 6 \times 84 = 9504 {cm}^{3}$
Inner volume $= {πr}^{2} h = \frac{22}{7} \times 4.5 \times 4.5 \times 84 = 5346 {cm}^{3}$
Now, volume of the metal = total volume − inner volume $= 9504 - 5346 = 4158 c m^{3}$
∴ Weight of iron $= 4158 \times 7.5 = 31185 g = 31.185 kg$ [Given: $1 c m^{3} = 7.5 g$ ]

Question 21:

The length of a metallic tube is 1 metre, its thickness is 1 cm and its inner diameter is 12 cm. Find the weight of the tube if the density of the metal is 7.7 grams per cubic centimetre.

Answer:

Length = 1 m = 100 cm
Inner diameter = 12 cm
Radius = 6 cm
Now, inner volume $= {πr}^{2} h = \frac{22}{7} \times 6 \times 6 \times 100 = 11314.286 {cm}^{3}$
Thickness = 1 cm
Total radius = 7 cm

Now, we have the following:
Total volume $= {πr}^{2} h = \frac{22}{7} \times 7 \times 7 \times 100 = 15400 {cm}^{3}$
Volume of the tube $= total volume - inner volume = 15400 - 11314.286 = 4085.714 c m^{3}$
Density of the tube = 7.7 g/cm³
∴ Weight of the tube $= volume \times density = 4085.714 \times 7.7 = 31459.9978 g = 31.459 kg$

(d) 120 cm³

Answer:

(a) $48 c m^{3}$
