Problem 1 :
A hollow cylindrical pipe is of length 40 cm. Its internal and external radii are 4 cm and 12 cm respectively. It is melted and cast into a solid cylinder of length 20 cm. Find the radius of the new solid.
Solution :
length of cylindrical pipe (h) = 40 cm
internal radius of the pipe (r) = 4 cm
external radius of the pipe (R) = 12 cm
Height of cylinder = 20 cm
Volume of hollow cylindrical pipe = Volume of cylinder
Π h (R2 - r2) = Π r2 h
h (R2 - r2) = r2 h
(40) (122 - 42) = r2 (20)
(40) (144 - 16) = r2 (20)
(40) (128)/20 = r2
r2 = (40) (128)/20
r2 = 2 (128)
r = √256
r = 16 cm
Therefore radius of cylinder = 16 cm
Problem 2 :
An iron right circular cone of diameter 8 cm and height 12 cm is melted and recast into spherical lead shots each of radius 4 mm. How many lead shots can be made?
Solution :
diameter of right circular cone = 8 cm
radius of right circular cone (r) = 4 cm
Height of right circular cone (h) = 12 cm
Radius of spherical lead shot (r) = 4 mm
10 mm = 1 cm
4 mm = (4/10) cm
Volume of right circular cone
= n x (Number of spherical lead shots)
n = Volume of cone/Number of spherical lead shots
n = (1/3)Π r2 h/(4/3)Π r3
n = (1/3) (4)2 (12) x (3/4) (10/4)3
n = 3 x 5 x 5 x 10
n = 750 lead shots
Therefore 750 lead shots can be made.
Problem 3 :
A container with a rectangular base of length 4.4 m and breadth 2 m is used to collect rain water. The height of the water level in the container is 4 cm and water is transferred into a cylindrical vessel with radius 40 cm. What will be the height of the water level in the cylinder?
Solution :
Volume of water in cuboidal container = Volume of water in cylindrical container
lwh = Π r2h
l = 4.4 m, w = 2 m, h = 4 cm ==> 4/100 ==> 1/25 m
r = 40 cm ==> 40/100
4.4(2) (1/25) = Π (2/5)2h
h = 4.4 (2) (1/25) (1/Π) (25/4)
h = 2.2/Π
h = 0.7 m
Problem 4 :
A cylindrical bucket of height 32 cm and radius 18 cm is filled with sand. The bucket is emptied on the ground and a conical heap and sand is formed. If the height of the conical heap is 24 cm, find the radius and slant height of the heap.
Solution :
Volume of sand in the cylindrical bucket = Volume of sand of conical heap
Let r1, h1 be the radius and height of cylindrical tank
Let r2, h2 be the radius and height of conical tank
Π r12h1 = (1/3)Π r22h2
r1 = 18 cm, h1 = 32 cm and h2 = 24 cm
182(32) = (1/3) r22(24)
182(32) = 8 r22
r22 = (18⋅18⋅32)/8
r2 = 18(2)
r2 = 36 cm
So, the radius of the conical heap is 36 cm.
