A hollow cylindrical pipe is 21 dm long. Its outer and inner diameter

1.	A hollow cylindrical pipe is 21 dm long. Its outer and inner diameters are 10 cm and 6 cm respectively. Find the volume of the copper used in making the pipe.
Answer» Given, Length of cylinder = 21 dm = 210 cm Outer diameter = 10 cm Outer radius = R = \(\frac{10}{2}\) = 5 cm Inner diameter = 6 cm Inner radius = r = \(\frac{6}{2}\) = 3 cm ∴ Area of base = π(R²- r²) = π(25 - 9) = 16π cm² Volume of cylinder = area of base x height = 16π x 210 = 16 x \(\frac{22}{7}\) x 210 = 10560 cm³

A hollow cylindrical pipe is 21 dm long. Its outer and inner diameters are 10 cm and 6 cm respectively. Find the volume of the copper used in making the pipe.

Answer»

Given,

Length of cylinder = 21 dm = 210 cm

Outer diameter = 10 cm

Outer radius = R = \(\frac{10}{2}\) = 5 cm

Inner diameter = 6 cm

Inner radius = r = \(\frac{6}{2}\) = 3 cm

∴ Area of base = π(R²- r²) = π(25 - 9) = 16π cm²

Volume of cylinder = area of base x height = 16π x 210 = 16 x \(\frac{22}{7}\) x 210 = 10560 cm³
