Diameter of cylindrical wire = 0.25cm

Radius of wire, r =

Let length of wire be h

Volume of the cylinder = πr2h

Volume of brass of 2.2dm3 is equal to volume of cylindrical wire

⇒ h = 448m

5. Question

What length of a solid cylinder 2 cm in diameter must be taken to recast into a hollow cylinder of
length 16 cm, external diameter 20 cm and thickness 2.5 mm?

Answer

The solid cylinder should be to hollow cylinder

Given that, diameter of solid cylinder = 2 cm

Length of hollow cylinder = 16cm

External diameter = 20cm

Thickness = 2.5mm=0.25cm

Volume of solid cylinder = πr2h ------(i)

Radius of the cylinder = 1cm

So, volume of the solid cylinder = π(1)2h = π h

Let length of the solid cylinder be h

Volume of hollow cylinder = πh(R2 – r2)

Thickness = R – r

⇒ r = 10 – 0.25

⇒ Internal radius = 9.75cm

So, volume of hollow cylinder = π × 16(100 – 95.0625)

= π × 16 × 4.9375

≈ π × 16 × 4.94 -------(2)

As we know that, volume of both solid and hollow cylinder must be the same, therefore

π h = π × 16 × 4.94

⇒ h ≈ 79cm

∴ Length of the solid cylinder = 79cm

6. Question

A cylindrical vessel having diameter equal to its height is full of water which is poured into two
identical cylindrical vessels with diameter 42 cm and height 21 cm which are filled completely. Find
the diameter of the cylindrical vessel.

Answer

Given: diameter of the cylindrical vessel = height of the vessel

∴ h = 2r

Given: water filled in the cylindrical vessel is poured in two cylindrical vessels

Volume of a cylindrical vessel = π r2 h

So, volume = πr2(2r) = 2 π r3

Volume of vessel with diameter 42 cm =

= π (21)3 cm3

Since cylinders are filled by water completely, so volume of large cylinder = sum of these small
cylinders

∴ 2 π r3 = 2 × π (21)3

⇒ r = 21cm

∴ diameter of the cylindrical vessel = 42cm

7. Question

50 circular plates each of diameter 14 cm and thickness 0.5 cm are placed one above the other to
form a right circular cylinder. Find its total surface area.

Answer

Diameter of each circular plate = 14 cm

∴ their radius, r = 7 cm

Thickness of each plate = 0.5 cm

50 plates are placed one above the other to form a right circular cylinder

∴ height of the cylinder formed, h = 50 × 0.5 cm

Or h = 25cm

Total surface area of the cylinder = 2πr(r + h)

= 1408 cm2

8. Question

25 circular plates, each of radius 10.5 cm and thickness 1.6 cm, are placed one above the other to
form a solid circular cylinder. Find the curved surface area and the volume of the cylinder so formed.

Answer

Radius of each circular plate = 10.5 cm

Thickness of each plate = 1.6 cm

25 plates are placed one above the other to form a solid circular cylinder

∴ height of the cylinder formed, h = 25 × 1.6 cm = 40cm

Total curved surface area of the cylinder = 2πrh

= 2640 cm2

Volume of cylinder = π r2 h

= π (10.5)2 × 40

= 13860 cm3

9. Question

A path 2 m wide surrounds a circular pond of diameter 40 m. How many cubic metres of gravel are
required to grave the path to a depth of 20 cm?

Answer

Diameter of circular pond is given as 40 cm

∴ Radius of the pond, r = 20cm

Also, thickness, t = R – r

⇒2=R–r

⇒ 2 = R – 20

⇒ R = 22cm
Volume of a hollow cylinder = π (R2 – r2)h

= 3.14 × (222 – 202) × 0.2

≈ 52 .8

∴ 52.8 cubic metres of gravel are required to grave the path to a depth of 20 cm

10. Question

A 16 m deep well with diameter 3.5 m is dug up and the earth from it is spread evenly to form a
platform 27.5 m by 7 m. Find the height of the platform.

Radius of cylinder, r = 3.5/2 = 1.75m

Depth of well, h = 16m

Volume of right circular cylinder, V’ = π r2 h

---------(I)

Given that, length of platform, l = 27.5 cm

Breadth of the platform, b = 7cm

Let height of the platform be x m

Volume of the rectangle, V’’ = lbh

= 27.5 × 7 × x

Radius of cylinder, r = 2/2 = 1m

Depth(height) of well, h = 14m

Volume of right circular cylinder, V’ = π r2 h

---------(I)

Given that, length of embankment, l = 40 cm

Let width of the embankment be x m

Volume of the embankment, V’’ = π r2 h

= π ((1+x)2 – 1)2 x 0.4 -----------(II)

Since well is spread evenly to form the embankment, so their volumes, V’ = V’’

⇒ π × 14 = π ((1+x)2 – 1)2 x 0.4

⇒ x = 5m

∴ Height of the embankment, x = 5cm

12. Question

the level of water in the tank, if the average displacement of water by a person is 0.04 m3?

Answer

To find: the rise in the level of water in the tank, if the average displacement of water by a person is
0.04 m3 and 500 persons have to dip in a rectangular tank which is 80 m long and 50 m
broad.Solution: Length of rectangular tank, l = 80m

Breadth, b = 50m

displacement of water in rectangular tank by 1 person = 0.04 m3

Total displacement of water in rectangular tank by 500 persons = 500 × 0.04 m3 = 20m3 -----(i)

Let depth of the rectangular tank be hThe amount of water displaced is equal to the volume of the
tank.

Volume of rectangular tank = lbh

Volume of rectangular tank = 80 × 50 × h m3 -----------(ii)

Equating (i) and (ii), we get

20 = 80 × 50 × h

⇒ h = 0.005 m As 1 m = 100 cmSo 0.005 m = 0.005 × 100 cm⇒ h = 0.5 cm

A farmer runs a pipe of internal diameter 20 cm from the canal into a cylindrical tank in his field
which is 10 m in diameter and 2 m deep. If water flows through the pipe at the rate of 3 km / h, in
how much time will the tank be filled?

Answer

Let the time-taken by the pipe to fill the tank be x hrs.

Since the water is flowing at a rate of 3 kmph, therefore

Length of water column in x hrs is

3 × x = 3x km = 3000x m

Therefore the length of the pipe is

Therefore, the volume of water flowing through the pipe in x hours, V’ = π r2 h

= π (0.1)2 (3000x) m3

Also, volume of water that falls into the tank in x hours = π r2 h

= π (5)2 (2)

The volume of water flowing through the pipe in x hours = volume of water that falls into the tank in
x hours

∴ π (0.1)2 (3000x) = π (5)2 (2)

⇒ 30x = 50

= 1hr 40min
