and radius of its base (r) = 7 cm
(î) Volurne=πr²h

#### Question 2.

The inner radius of a pipe is 2.1 cm. How much water can 12 m of this pipe hold ?

Inner radius of a pipe (r) = 2.1 cm
and length of pipe (h) = 12 m = 1200 cm
∴ Volume of water in it = πr2h

#### Question 3.

A cylinder of circumference 8 cm and length 21 cm roils without sliding for 4 $\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$ seconds at the rate of 9 complete rounds per second. Find:
(i) the distance travelled by the cylinder in 4 $\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$ seconds, and
(ii) the area covered by the cylinder in 4 $\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$ seconds.

#### Question 4.

How many cubic metres of earth must be dug out to make a well 28 m deep and 2.8 m in diameter ? Also, find the cost of plastering its inner surface at ₹4.50 per sq. metre.

#### Question 5.

What length of solid cylinder 2 cm in diameter must be taken to recast into a hollow cylinder of external diameter 20 cm, 0.25 cm thick and 15 cm long ?

Diameter of solid cylinder = 2 cm
∴ Radius (r) = $\frac { 2 }{ 2 }$ = 1 cm
Let length (h) = x cm
∴ Volume = πr²h = π x 1 x 1 x x
= πx cm3       …(i)
External diameter of hollow cylinder = 20cm
∴ External radius =  $\frac { 20 }{ 2 }$ = 10 cm
Thickness of cylinder = 0.25 cm
∴ Innerradius= 10-0.25 = 9.75 cm
Length = 15 cm
∴ Volume = π(R2 – r2) x h
= π(R + r)(R-r) x h
= π(10 + 9.75)(10-9.75) x 15 cm3
= πx 19.75 0.25 x 15 cm3    ………(ii)
Comparing (i) and (ii), we get
∴ π x 19.75 x 0.25 x 15 = π x
x = 19.75 x 0.25 x 15 cm
= 74.0625 = 74.06 cm

#### Question 6.

A cylindrical container with diameter of base 42 cm contains sufficient water to submerge a rectangular solid of iron with dimensions 22 cm x 14 cm x 10.5 cm. Find the rise in the. level of the water when the solid is submerged.

Diameter of base of a cylindrical container =42 cm
∴ Radius = $\frac { 42 }{ 2 }$ = 21 cm
Size of rectangular solid = 22cmx 14cmx 10.5 cm
∴ Volume of solid = 3234 cm3
∴ Height of water level raise in the container

#### Question 9.

A cylindrical container with infernal radius of its base 10 cm’, contains water up”to a height of 7 cm. Find the area of the wet surface of the cylinder.

Internal radius of cylindrical container (r) = 10cm
Water upto height (h) = 7 cm
∴ Area of wet surface by the water of the container = 2πrh
= π x 19.75 x 0.25 x 15 cm3                       …(ii)
Comparing (i) and (ii), we get
∴ π x 19.75 x 0.25 x 15 = πx
x = 19.75×0.25x 15 cm
= 74.0625
= 74.06 cm

#### Question 10.

#### Question 11.

The height and the radius of the base of a cylinder are in the ratio 3:1. If its volume is 1029 πcm3; find its total surface area.

Ratio between height and radius of a cylinder = 3:1

Volume =  …….(i)

Let radius of the base = r

then height = 3r

#### Question 12.

The radius of a solid right circular cylinder increases by 20% and its height decreases by 20%. Find the percentage change in its volume.

Let radius of the cylinder (r) = 100 cm
and height (h) = 100 cm
∴ Volume = πr2h =π( 100)2 x 100 cm= 1000000π cm3
Now radius (R) = 100 + 20 = 120 cm
and new height (h) = 100 – 20 = 80 cm
∴ Volume = π(120)2 x 80
= π x 14400 x 80cm3= 152000π cm3
Percentage change (increase) in the volume

#### Question 13.

The radius of a solid right circular cylinder decreases by 20% and its height increases by 10%. Find the percentage change in its:
(i) volume
(ii) curved surface area

Let radius of the cylinder = 100 cm
and height = 100 cm
∴ Volume = πr2h
= πx 100 x 100 x 100 cm3
= 1000000πcm3
and Curved surface area = 2πrh
= 2 x π x 100 x 100 cm2
=20000π cm2
Decreased radius = 100 – 20 = 80 cm
and increased height = 100 + 10 = 110 cm
∴ Increased volume = π x 80 x 80 x 110 cm= 704000π cm3
and increased curved surface =2 x π x 80 x 110 cm= 17600πcm2
⇒  Decrease in volume = 1000000π – 704000π = 296000π cm3

#### Question 14.

Find the area of metal sheet required, if 10% of it is wasted in cutting, overlapping, etc.

Diameter of the hollow closed cylinder =20 cm
∴ Radius (r) = $\frac { 20 }{ 2 }$
and height (h) = 35 cm

#### Question 15.

Sum of outer and inner surface area of a hollow cylinder = 1056 cm2
Volume of metal used =1056 cm3
Height of cylinder (h) = 21 cm
Height = 21 cm
We are given
Outer surface + Inner surface = 1056 cm2
Volume = πR2h – πr2h =1056 cm3
Now, 2πRh + 2πrh =1056

#### Question 20.

The difference between the outer curved surface area and the inner curved surface area of a hollow cylinder is 352 cm2. If its height is 28 cm and the volume of material in it is 704 cm3; find its external curved surface area.

Difference in outer and inner curved surface of a hollow cylinder = 352 cm2

Height of cylinder (6) = 24 cm
Radius (r)= $\frac { 40 }{ 2 }$ = 20 cm
∴ Volume of water filled in it = πr2h
= π x 20 x 20 x 24 cm3
= 9600π cm3
Radius of small cylindrical bottle = $\frac { 8 }{ 2 }$ = 4 cm
and height (6) = 10 cm
∴  Volume of one small bottle = πr2h
π x 4 x 4 x 10 cm3 = 160π cm3
∴ Number of small bottles

#### Question 24.

Two solid cylinders, one with diameter 60 cm and height 30 cm and the other with radius 30 cm and height 60 cm, are melted and recasted into a third solid cylinder of height 10 cm. Find the diameter of the cylinder formed.

∴ Radius (R)= $\frac { 60 }{ 2 }$ =30 cm
and height (h) = 30 cm
Radius of second cylinder = 30 cm
and height = 60 cm
Volume of first cylinder = πR2h
= π30 x 30 x 30 cm3 = 27000π cm3
and volume of second cylinder = π x 30 x 30 x 60 cm3 = 54000πcm3
Total volume of both cylinders
= 27000π+ 54000π cm3
= 81000π cm3

Find the volume and the total surface area of the whole solid [Take π=3.14]

Side of the cube = 40 cm
Radius of cylinder = 20 cm
Height (h) = 50 cm
Volume of cube = (40)3 = 64000 cm3
and volume of cylinder = πr2h
= 3.14 x 20 x 20 x 50 cm3
=314×200 = 62800 cm3
∴ Total volume = 64000 + 62800 =126800cm3
Total surface area = (6a2 + 2πrh)
= 6 x 40 x 40 + 2 x 3.14 x 20 x 50 =9600+6280
= 15880 cm2

#### Question 27.

and ratio in their heights = 2:3
(i) Let radius of first cylinder = 3x
and height = 2y
∴ Curved surface area = 2πrh
= 2π(3x) (2y) = 12 πxy
and radius of second cylinder = 5x
and height = 3y
∴  Curved surface = 2πrh
= 2π x 5x 3y
= 30πxy
∴ Ratio in their curved surface
= 12πxy : 30πxy
= 2 :5
(ii) Volume of first cylinder = πr2h
= π(3x)2 x 2y = 18πx2y
and volume of second cylinder = π(5x)2 x 3y
= 75πx2y
∴ Ratio = 18πx2y : 75πx2y
= 6:25

Diameter of a closed cylindrical tank=8.4 cm
∴ Radius (r) = $\frac { 8.4 }{ 2 }$ = 4.2 m
and height (h) = 5.4 m
∴ Total surface area = 2πr(r + h)
= 2 x $\frac { 22 }{ 7 }$ x 4.2(4.2+ 5.4) m2
=26.4 x 9.6 m2=253.44 m2
Area of sheet used in wastage
$\frac { 1 }{ 15 }$ of 253.44= 16.896 m2
Total sheet required = 16.896 +253.44 m2
= 270.336 m2
=270.34 m2 (approx)

According to the condition in the question,

We know that,

l2 = r2 + h2

⇒ l2 = (7)2 + (24)2

⇒ l2 = 49 + 576

and ⇒ l2 = 625

Hence ⇒ l = 25 m

∴ Curved Surface Area = πrl = × 7× 25 = 550m2

Therefore the height of the tent is 24m and it curved surface area is 550m2.
