Answer 4

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 ?

Answer 5

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 x 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

Answer 8

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.

Answer 9

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.

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.

Answer 12

Let radius of the cylinder (r) = 100 cm
and height (h) = 100 cm
∴ Volume = πr²h =π( 100)² x 100 cm³= 1000000π cm³Now 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 cm³Percentage 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

Answer 13

Let radius of the cylinder = 100 cm
and height = 100 cm
∴ Volume = πr²h
= πx 100 x 100 x 100 cm³= 1000000πcm³and Curved surface area = 2πrh
= 2 x π x 100 x 100 cm²=20000π cm²Decreased radius = 100 – 20 = 80 cm
and increased height = 100 + 10 = 110 cm
∴ Increased volume = π x 80 x 80 x 110 cm³= 704000π cm³and increased curved surface =2 x π x 80 x 110 cm²= 17600πcm²⇒ Decrease in volume = 1000000π – 704000π = 296000π cm³

Answer 19

Sum of outer and inner surface area of a hollow cylinder = 1056 cm²Volume of metal used =1056 cm³Height of cylinder (h) = 21 cm
Let outer radius = R
and inner radius = r
Height = 21 cm
We are given
Outer surface + Inner surface = 1056 cm²Volume = πR²h – πr²h =1056 cm³Now, 2πRh + 2πrh =1056

Answer 27

The ratio is the radii of two right circular solid cylinder = 3:5
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

Answer 28

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 m²Area of sheet used in wastage
= $\frac { 1 }{ 15 }$ of 253.44= 16.896 m²Total sheet required = 16.896 +253.44 m²= 270.336 m²=270.34 m² (approx)
