perimeter of the figure shown.
4. The diagram below shows a container 12 cm tall. Its cross-section is a triangle with base length 10 cm
and perpendicular height 8 cm. The container contains water to a depth of 5.5 cm.

(a) A child accidentally dropped a stone of volume 100 c m3 into the container. Find the rise in water
level.

(b) An electrical pump draws water out of the tank through a cylindrical pipe of diameter 2 cm .If
water flows through the pipe at a constant speed of 7 cm/s , find the time taken in seconds to
empty the tank.
5. The diagram shows a swimming pool. The pool is 30 m long, 15 m wide , 1 m deep at one end and 5
m deep at the other end. The bottom slopes uniformly from one end to the other, and is 30.3 m long.

(a) Find the volume of water in the pool when it is full.

(b) Find the total surface area of the pool which is in contact with the water.
6. A right cylinder of base radius 7 cm contains water to a height of 5 cm.
(a) Calculate the surface area of the cylinder that is in contact with water in terms of π .

(b) A girl puts 21 cubes of side 2 cm into the cylinder. Find the rise in the water level.
7. The diagram below shows a cylindrical water tank. The radius of the circular base is 9 m and the height
of the tank is 24 m. The tank contains water to a depth of 6 m.

(a) Find in terms of π , the volume of water in the tank.

(b) Find the total surface area of the tank in contact with water.

9. The diagram shows the uniform cross-sectional wall ABCD of a factory building 20 m long, in the
town of Erehwyna. The factory is 20 m long. AD is horizontal and 12 m long ; AB , DC are vertical
and 3 and 5.5 m long respectively.

(a) The building regulations in Erehwyna stipulate that each worker requires 34 cubic metres of air
space in a factory for proper ventilation.
Calculate
(i) The greatest number of workers that ban be working at any one time in the factory.

(ii) The area of floor space per worker for the number of workers in (a) (i).
(b) The four walls are to be painted. Given that the paint in one time covers an area of 66 square
metres, calculate the number of tins required.

(c) It is further stipulated in the building regulations that, for safety reasons, any water tank installed
on the roof of the factory must not store water with a weight of more than or equal to 9000 kg .
Given that the density of water is 1g/c m3, calculate the maximum volume of water that can be
stored in cubic metres.
10. In order to conserve water, Mr Tan had installed huge cylinders under the water grates in his home in
order to collect rain water. Figure 1 below shows a cylinder which was 90 cm high and has a base
radius of 22 cm .

Once filled, the water would be emptied into a pool as shown in figure 2. Both the base of the pool
DHGC and its top ABFE, are horizontal rectangles. Each of the vertical sides ABCD and EFGH is a
trapezium, where AB=EF=4.5 m , DC= HG=3.5 m , AE=BF=CG=DH =2 m and the perpendicular
height of the pool is 1.5 m.
(b) Calculate the volume of the pool. Find the number of cylinders of water that would be needed to
fill up the pool completely.
