  1. Volume

Ans: Volume of cylinder, V= Π r2h

V=227×72×20

V=22×7×20

V=3080cm3

Therefore the volume of the circular cylinder is 3080cm3.

  1. Total Surface Area

Ans: Total surface area of cylinder, S=2 Π r(h+r)

S=2×227×7(20+7)

S=2×22×27

S=1188cm2

Therefore the total surface area of the circular cylinder is 1188cm2.


2. The inner radius of a pipe is 2.1cm. How much water can 12m of this pipe hold?

Ans: Amount of water a pipe can hold is equal to the volume of the pipe.

Height of the cylinder, h=12m=1200cm

Volume of metal pipe, V= Π r2h

V=227×2.12×1200

V=22×0.3×2.1×1200

V=16632cm3

Therefore the amount of water the pipe can hold is 16632cm3.


3. A cylinder of circumference 8cm and length 21cm rolls without sliding for 412 seconds at the rate of 9 complete rounds per second. Find

  1. The distance travelled by the cylinder in 412 seconds

Ans: Circumference of cylinder, P=2 Π r

8=2×227×r

r=1411cm

Distance covered in 1 revolution = 8cm

Distance covered in 9 revolutions = 72cm

So the distance covered in 1sec=72cm

Distance covered in 412sec=72×92=324cm

Therefore the distance covered in 412 seconds is 324cm.

  1. The area covered by the cylinder in 412seconds

Ans: Curved surface area, C=2 Π rh

C=2×227×1411×21

C=2×2×2×21

C=168cm2 

Area covered in one revolution is 168cm2

Area covered in 9 revolutions = 168×9=1512cm2

So the area covered in 1 second = 1512cm2

Area covered in 412 seconds = 1512×92=6804cm2


4. How many cubic meters of earth must be dug out to make a well 28m deep and 2.8m in diameter? Also, find the cost of plastering its inner surface at 4.50rs per sq.meter.

Ans: Radius of well, r=2.82=1.4m

Volume of well, V= Π r2h

V=227×1.42×28

V=22×0.2×1.4×28

V=172.48m3

Curved  surface area of well, C=2 Π rh

C=2×227×1.4×28

C=2×22×0.2×28

C=246.4m2

Cost of plastering is 246.4×4.5=1108.8

Therefore, the volume of well is 172.48m3and cost of plastering is 1108.8rs.


5. What length of solid cylinder 2cm in diameter must be taken to recast into a hollow cylinder of external diameter 20cm, 0.25cm thick and 15cm long?

Internal radius of the cylinder=100.25=9.75cm.

Volume of hollow cylinder, V= Π h(R2r2)

V=227×15×(1029.752) 

V=227×15×4.94

V=232.77cm3

The radius of the cylindrical recast,  =22=1cm

Let the length of the solid cylinder is  

Volume of solid cylinder,  = Π (1)2 cm3

Volume of solid cylinder = Volume of hollow cylinder

 Π (1)2 =232.77

 =232.77×722

 =74.06cm

Thus the length of the solid cylinder is 74.06cm

Curved surface area of the cylinder, C=2 Π rh

h=C2 Π r

h=1002×227×10

h=100×72×22×10

h=1.6cm

Thus the height of the cylinder is 1.6cm.

  1. The volume of the cylinder correct to one decimal place

Ans: Volume of cylinder, V= Π r2h

V=227×102×1.6

V=502.9cm3

Therefore the volume of the cylinder is 502.9cm3.


7. A metal pipe has a bore(inner diameter) of 5cm. The pipe is 5mm thick all round. Find the weight, in kilogram, of 2 meters of the pipe if 1cm3of the metal weighs 7.7g.

Ans: Inner radius of the pipe, r=52=2.5cm

Height of the cylinder, h=2m=200cm

Thickness of the pipe, t=5mm=0.5cm

Outer radius of the pipe = inner radius of the pipe + thickness of the pipe

R=r+t

R=2.5+0.5=3cm

Volume of pipe, V= Π h(R2r2)

V=227×200×(322.52)

V=227×200×2.75

V=1728.57cm3

Weight of the metal, m=1728.57×7.7=13309.98gm=13.31kg

Vc=22×14×10.5=3234cm3

Volume of water in cylindrical container, V= Π r2h

V=227×212×h

V=1386  cm3

From the given information, we know that Volume of water in cylindrical container = Volume of rectangular solid

1386h=3234

h=32341386

h=2.33cm

Therefore the water level is raised by 2.33cm when the solid is submerged.


9. A cylindrical container with internal radius of its base 10cm, contains water up to a height of 7cm. Find the area of the wet surface of the cylinder.

Ans: Area of wet surface of the cylinder = Total surface area of the container

Surface area of the open sides, A1=2 Π h(R+r)

A1=2×227×50×(10+3)

A1=4085.7cm2

Surface area of lower and upper parts, A2=2 Π (R2r2)

A2=2×227×(10232)

A2=572cm2

Total surface area,A=A1+A2

A=4085.7+572=4657.7cm2

Therefore the total surface area of the open pipe is 4657.7cm2.

 Π r2(3r)=1029 Π 

r3=10293

r3=343

r=7

h=3r=3(7)=21

Total surface area of cylinder, S=2 Π r(h+r)

S=2×227×7×(21+7)

S=2×22×28

S=1232cm2

Therefore, the total surface area is 1232cm2.

From the question, we know that

Area of the rectangular metal sheet = Total surface of the cylindrical box

l×b=2 Π r(r+h)

l×100=2×227×10(10+35)

100l=2828.57

l=28cm

Area of rectangular metal sheet, A=l×b

A=28×100=2800cm2=0.28m2

Cost of the sheet=0.28×56=15.68rs

Let  be the area of the required sheet.

According to the question, 10% of required area of the sheet is waste in cutting

 0.1 =2800
