For the Kumbh Mela, Uttar Pradesh Government prescribed the following for the contractors to pitch the tents.
Each tent must be of cylindrical base of radius $21$ m and height $5$ m, surmounted by a conical part of height $20$ m. The cylindrical part must have a white coloured thick fabric costing ₹60 per square meter, while the conical part must have PVC coated blue fabric costing ₹70 per square meter.
Based on the above information, answer the following questions:
(a) How much blue PVC (in sq.m) is required and what will be its total cost?
(b) How much white fabric (in sq.m) is required and what will be its total cost?
Show SolutionHide Solution
Given: Radius of cylindrical base $r = 21$ m.
Height of cylindrical part $h_c = 5$ m.
Height of conical part $h_k = 20$ m.
(a) For the conical part (blue PVC):
Slant height $l = \sqrt{r^2 + h_k^2} = \sqrt{21^2 + 20^2} = \sqrt{441 + 400} = \sqrt{841} = 29$ m.
Curved Surface Area (CSA) of conical part $= \pi r l = \frac{22}{7} \times 21 \times 29 = 22 \times 3 \times 29 = 66 \times 29 = 1914$ m$^2$.
Cost of blue PVC $= 1914 \times \text{Rs}70 = \text{Rs}133980$.
(b) For the cylindrical part (white fabric):
Curved Surface Area (CSA) of cylindrical part $= 2\pi r h_c = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 21 \times 5 = 2 \times 22 \times 3 \times 5 = 660$ m$^2$.
Cost of white fabric $= 660 \times \text{Rs}60 = \text{Rs}39600$.

The difference between the outer and inner radii of a hollow right circular cylinder of length $14$ cm is $1$ cm. If the volume of the metal used in making the cylinder is $176$ cm$^3$, find the outer and inner radii of the cylinder.
Show SolutionHide Solution
Sol. Let outer radius be $r_2$ cm and inner radius be $r_1$ cm.
$\therefore r_2 - r_1 = 1$ ----- (i)
Volume of metal used = $176$ cm$^3$
$\Rightarrow \frac{22}{7} \times 14 \times (r_2^2 - r_1^2) = 176$
$\Rightarrow r_2 + r_1=4$ ----- (ii)
Solving (i) and (ii), we get
$r_2 = \frac{5}{2}$ or $2.5$, $r_1 = \frac{3}{2}$ or $1.5$
Therefore, outer radius = $2.5$ cm and inner radius = $1.5$ cm

A room is in the form of a cylinder surmounted by a hemispherical dome. The base radius of the hemisphere is half of the height of the cylindrical part. If the room contains $\frac{1408}{21} \text{ m}^3$ of air, find the height of the cylindrical part. (Use $\pi = \frac{22}{7}$).
Show SolutionHide Solution
Let $r$ be the radius and $h$ be the height of cylinder. $h = 2r$. Volume $= \frac{2}{3}\pi r^3 + \pi r^2 h = \frac{1408}{21} \implies \frac{2}{3}\pi r^3 + \pi r^2(2r) = \frac{1408}{21} \implies \frac{8}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times r^3 = \frac{1408}{21} \implies r^3 = 8 \implies r = 2$ m and $h = 4$ m.

Show SolutionHide Solution
Diameter $= 1$ m, $r = 0.5$ m. Height of Cylinder $(H) = 3.3 - 1.2 = 2.1$ m.
Capacity of the tank = Volume of cylinder + Volume of cone $= \frac{22}{7} \times (0.5)^2 \times 2.1 + \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times (0.5)^2 \times 1.2 = 1.96$ m$^3$.
Slant height $(l) = \sqrt{(1.2)^2 + (0.5)^2} = 1.3$ m.
Height of cylindrical part in contact with liquid $= 2.1 - 0.7 = 1.4$ m.
Surface area of tank in contact with liquid = Curved Surface Area of Cylindrical part in contact with liquid + Curved surface Area of cone $= 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 0.5 \times 1.4 + \frac{22}{7} \times 0.5 \times 1.3 = 6.44$ m$^2$ (approx.)

A vessel is in the form of an inverted cone. Its height is $8$ cm and the radius of its top, which is open, is $5$ cm. It is filled with water up to the brim. When lead shots, each of which is a sphere of radius $0.5$ cm, are dropped into the vessel, one-fourth of the water flows out. Find the number of lead shots dropped in the vessel.
Show SolutionHide Solution
Radius of cone = $5$ cm, height of cone = $8$ cm
Volume of water in the cone = $$\begin{aligned}& \frac{1}{3}\pi\times (5)^2 \times 8 \\ & = \frac{200\pi}{3}\end{aligned}$$ cm$^3$
Volume of water flows out = $\frac{1}{4}$ (Volume of water in the cone)
= $\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{200\pi}{3} = \frac{50\pi}{3}$ cm$^3$
Radius of sphere (lead shot) = $0.5 = \frac{1}{2}$ cm
Volume of one lead shot = $$\begin{aligned}& \frac{4}{3}\pi\times \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^3 \\ & = \frac{4}{3}\pi\times \frac{1}{8} = \frac{\pi}{6}\end{aligned}$$ cm$^3$
Number of lead shots = $\frac{\frac{50\pi}{3}}{\frac{\pi}{6}} = \frac{50\pi}{3} \times \frac{6}{\pi} = 100$

From one of the faces of a solid wooden cube of side 14 cm, maximum number of hemispheres of diameter 1.4 cm are scooped out. Find the total number of hemispheres that can be scooped out. Also, find the total surface area of the remaining solid.
Show SolutionHide Solution
Total number of hemispheres $= \frac{14 \times 14}{1.4 \times 1.4} = 100$
Total Surface Area of remaining solid = Surface Area of Cube + Curved Surface Area of 100 hemispheres - Area of 100 circles
$= 6 \times 14 \times 14 + 100 \times 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 0.7 \times 0.7 - 100 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 0.7 \times 0.7$
$= 1330$
$\therefore$ Total surface area of remaining solid is 1330 cm$^2$.

If the radii of the bases of a cylinder and a cone are in the ratio $3: 4$ and their heights are in the ratio $2: 3$, find the ratio of their volumes.
Show SolutionHide Solution
Let radius of cylinder = $r_1$& height of cylinder = $h_1$
Let radius of cone = $r_2$& height of cone = $h_2$
$\frac{r_1}{r_2} = \frac{3}{4}$, $\frac{h_1}{h_2} = \frac{2}{3}$ (1)
$\frac{\text{volume of cylinder}}{\text{volume of cone}} = \frac{\pi r_1^2 h_1}{\frac{1}{3}\pi r_2^2 h_2} = 3 \times \left(\frac{r_1}{r_2}\right)^2 \times \left(\frac{h_1}{h_2}\right)$ (1)
$= 3 \times \left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^2 \times \left(\frac{2}{3}\right)$
$= 3 \times \frac{9}{16} \times \frac{2}{3} = \frac{9}{8}$ (1)

A solid toy is in the form of a hemisphere surmounted by a right circular cone. Ratio of the radius of the cone to its slant height is $3: 5$. If the volume of the toy is $240\pi$ cm$^3$, then find the total height of the toy.
Show SolutionHide Solution
Let the radius and the slant height of the cone be $3x$ cm and $5x$ cm respectively
$\therefore$ height of the cone (h) $= \sqrt{(5x)^2 - (3x)^2} = 4x$ cm
According to question, volume of toy $= 240\pi$
$\frac{2}{3}\pi(3x)^3 + \frac{1}{3}\pi(3x)^2(4x) = 240\pi$
Solving, we get $x = 2$
$\therefore$ Total height of toy $= [4(2) + 3(2)]$ cm $= 14$ cm

A carpenter is making a wooden toy (lattu) which is conical in shape and surmounted by a hemisphere. The ratio of the height of the hemisphere and the cone is $3 : 4$. If the radius of the cone and the hemisphere is $2.1$ cm, find the volume of wood required to make this toy. Also, find the area to be painted after making the toy.
Show SolutionHide Solution
Given r: h = $3:4$
Let $r = 3x, h = 4x$
$\therefore r = 3x = 2.1 \Rightarrow x = 0.7$
Hence $h = 2.8$ cm
Volume of wood required to make the toy = Volume of cone + Volume of hemisphere
$= \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times (2.1)^2 \times 2.8 + \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times (2.1)^3$
$= 32.34 \text{ cm}^3$
Slant height of cone = $\sqrt{(2.1)^2 + (2.8)^2} = 3.5$ cm
Total Surface Area = CSA of cone + CSA of hemisphere
$= \frac{22}{7} \times 2.1 \times 3.5 + 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times (2.1)^2$
$= 50.82 \text{ cm}^2$
