A farmer connects a pipe of internal diameter 20 cm from a canal into a cylindrical tank in her 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?

SOLUTION:

Soln. : Diameter of the pipe = 20 cm

Since, the water flows through the pipe at 3 km/hr.
∴ Length of water column per hour(h) = 3 km
= 3 × 1000 m = 3000 × 100 cm = 300000 cm.
∴ Volume of water = πr2h = π × 102 × 300000 cm3
= π × 30000000 cm3
Now, for the cylindrical tank,
Diameter = 10 m ⇒ Radius (R) = = 5 × 100 cm = 500 cm
Height (H) = 2 m = 2 × 100 cm = 200 cm

In one fortnight of a given month, there was a rainfall of 10 cm in a river valley. If the area of the valley is 97280 km2, show that the total rainfall was approximately equivalent to the addition to the normal water of three rivers each 1072 km long, 75 m wide and 3 m deep.

SOLUTION:

Soln. : Volume of three rivers = 3 {(Surface area of a river) × Depth}
ncert
ncert
Volume of rainfall = (Surface area) × (Height of rainfall)
ncert
ncert
ncert
Since, 0.7236 km3 ≠ 9.728 km3
∴ The additional water in the three rivers is not equivalent to the rainfall.

Q 36.

An oil funnel made of tin sheet consists of a 10 cm long cylindrical portion attached to a frustum of a cone. If the total height is 22 cm, diameter of the cylindrical portion is 8 cm and the diameter of the top of the funnel is 18 cm, find the area of the tin sheet required to make the funnel (see figure).
ncert

SOLUTION:

Soln. : We have,
For the cylindrical part
Diameter = 8 cm ⇒ Radius (r) = 4 cm
Height = 10 cm ⇒ Curved Surface area
ncert
For the frustum : ncert
Height (H) = 22 - 10 = 12 cm
∴ Slant height (l) ncert
ncert
ncert
∴ Surface area = π (r1 + r2)l
ncert
Area of tin required = [Area of the frustum] + [Area of cylindrical portion]
ncert
ncert

Q 37.

Derive the formula for the curved surface area and total surface area of the frustum of a cone

SOLUTION:

Soln. :
ncert
We have, Curved surface area of the frustum PQRS
ncert
= πr1l1 - πr2l2 ...(1)
Now,OC1Q OC2S [By AA similarity]
ncert
ncert
(∵ l1 = l + l2)
ncert ...(2)
Now, from (1), we get
Curved surface area of the frustum
ncert
ncert
= πl (r1 + r2) [From (2)]
Now, the total surface area of the frustum
= (curved surface area) + (base surface area) + (top surface area)
= πl (r1 + r2) + πr22 + πr12 = π (r1 + r2) l + π (r12 + r22)
= π [(r1 + r2) l + r12 + r22]

Q 38.

Derive the formula for the volume of the frustum of a cone.

SOLUTION:

Soln. : We have,
[Volume of the frustum RPQS]
= [Volume of right circular cone OPQ]
- [Volume of right circular cone ORS]
ncert
ncert ...(1)
ncert
Since OC1Q OC2S [By AA similarity]
ncert
ncert ...(2)
ncert
ncert
ncert ...(3)
From (1) and (2), we have Volume of the frustum RPQS
ncert
ncert
ncert
ncert [From (3)]
