figure for this question
Show SolutionHide Solution
Height of conical part $= 31 – 7 = 24$ cm
Slant height of conical part $= \sqrt{(7)^2 + (24)^2} = 25$ cm (1/2 Mark)
TSA of the toy = CSA of conical part + CSA of hemispherical part (1 Mark)
$= 2\pi r l + 2\pi r^2 = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 7 \times 25 + 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 7 \times 7$ (1 Mark)

Case Study - 3
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 $= 660 \times \text{Rs}60 = \text{Rs}39600$.

If the edge of the cubical die measures $5$ cm and each hemispherical depression is of diameter $1.4$ cm, find the total surface area of the die so formed.

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
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

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.

A solid wooden toy is in the shape of a right circular cone mounted on a hemisphere of same radius. If the radius of the hemisphere is $4.2$ cm and the total height of the toy is $10.2$ cm, find the volume of the wooden toy. Also, find the total surface area of the toy.
Show SolutionHide Solution
Height of conical part $= 10.2 - 4.2 = 6$ cm
Volume of toy = Volume of conical part + Volume of hemispherical part
$= (\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times (4.2)^2 \times 6) + (\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times (4.2)^3)$

Hence, Volume of toy is $266.112$ cm$^3$
Slant height of conical part $= \sqrt{(4.2)^2 + (6)^2} \approx 7.32$ cm
TSA of the toy = CSA of hemispherical part + CSA of conical part
$= (2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times (4.2)^2) + (\frac{22}{7} \times 4.2 \times 7.32)$

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)
Hence, required ratio is $9:8$

A right circular cylinder and a right circular cone have equal bases and equal heights. If their curved surface areas are in the ratio $8: 5$, then find the ratio between the radius of their bases to their height.
Show SolutionHide Solution
Let $r$ and $h$ be the radius and height of cylinder as well as cone respectively
$\frac{2\pi rh}{\pi r l} = \frac{8}{5}$ (I) (1 Mark)
$\Rightarrow \frac{2h}{\sqrt{r^2+h^2}} = \frac{8}{5}$
$\Rightarrow 100 h^2 = 64 r^2 + 64 h^2$
$\Rightarrow 36 h^2 = 64 r^2$ (II) (1 Mark)
$\therefore \frac{r}{h} = \frac{3}{4}$ (III) (1 Mark)
Hence the required ratio is $3: 4$

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

Determine the ratio of the volume of a cube to that of the sphere which will exactly fit inside the cube.
Show SolutionHide Solution
Let the side of the cube be '$x$' units
$\therefore$ Radius of the sphere = $\frac{x}{2}$ units
$$\begin{aligned}& \frac{\text{Volume of cube}}{\text{Volume of sphere}} = \frac{x^3}{\frac{4}{3}\pi \times (\frac{x}{2})^3} \\ & = \frac{6}{\pi}\ \therefore\end{aligned}$$ required ratio is $6 : \pi$
