Verify Euler’s formula for the table given belowS. No.FacesVerticesEdges(i)446(ii)10612(iii)122030(iv)201330(v)326090

Answer»

Euler’s formula is given by F + V – E

(i) F = 4 ; V = 4; E = 6

F + V – E = 4 + 4 – 6 = 8 – 6

F + V – E = 2

∴ Euler’s formula is satisfied.

(ii) F = 10; V = 6; E = 12

F + V – E = 10 + 6 – 12

= 16 – 12 = 4 ≠ 2

∴ Euler’s formula is not satisfied.

(iii) F = 12 ; V = 20 ; E = 30

F + V – E = 12 + 20 – 30

= 32 – 30 = 2

∴ Euler’s formula is satisfied.

(iv) F = 20 ; V = 13 ; E = 30

F + V – E = 20 + 13 – 30

= 33 – 30 = 3 ≠ 2

∴ Euler’s formula is not satisfied.

(v) F = 32 ; V = 60 ; E = 90

F + V – E = 32 + 60 – 90

= 92 – 90 = 2

∴ Euler’s formula is satisfied.

A copper sphere of mass 500 g is heated to 100 °C and then introduced into a copper calorimeter containing 100 g of water at 20 °C. Find the maximum temperature of the mixture, if the mass of the calorimeter is 100 g and the specific heat of the calorimeter is 0.1 cal/(g.°C).

Answer»

Data: m = 500 g, c = 0.1 cal/(g.°C), T’= 100 °C, m1 = 100 g, c1 = 1 cal/(g.°C), T1 = 20°C, m2 = 100 g, c2 = 0.1 cal/(g.°C), T2 = 20 °C, T= ?

Heat lost by the sphere = heat gained by the water and the calorimeter.

∴ mc (T’ – T) = m1 c1 (T – T1 ) + m2 c2 (T – T2 )

∴ 500 g × o.l cal/(g.°C) × (100 °C – T)

= 100 g × 1 cal/(g.°C) × (T – 20 °C) + 100 g × 0.1 cal/(g.°C) × (T – 20 °C)

∴ 50 (100 °C – T) = 100 × (T – 20 °C) + 10 × (T – 20 °C)

∴ 50 (100 °C – T) = 110 × (T – 20 °C) 

∴ 500 °C – 5T = 11T – 220 °C 

∴ 16T = 720 °C

∴ T = \(\cfrac{720^\circ C}{16}\) = 45 °C

Maximum temperature of the mixture = 45 °C.

A cow is tethered with a rope of length 35 m at the centre of the rectangular field of length 76 m and breadth 60 m. Find the area of the land that the cow cannot graze?

Answer»

Length of the field l = 76 m

Breadth of the field b = 60 m

Area of the field A = l x b sq. units 

= 76 x 60 m2

Area of the field A = 4560 m2

Length of the rope = 35 m

Radius of the land that the cow can graze = 35 m

Area of the land tha the cow can graze = circle of radius 35 m 

= πr2 sq.units

π x 35 x 35 m2 = \(\frac{22}{7}\) x 35 x 35 m2

= 3850 m2

Area of the land the cow cannot graze = Area of the field – Area

that the cow can graze

A path 5 m wide runs along the inside of the rectangular field. The length of the rectangular field is three times the breadth of the field. If the area of the path is 500 m2 then find the length and breadth of the field.

Answer»

Let the length of the rectangular field = ‘L’ m

Breadth of the rectangular field = ‘B’ m

Area of the rectangular field = (L x B) m2

Also given length = 3 x Breadth

L = 3B

Width of the path (W) = 5m

Length of the inner rectangle = L – 2W 

= l – 2(5)

= 3B – 10m

Breadth of the inner rectangle = B – 2W

= B – 2(5)

= B – 10 m

Area of the inner rectangle = (3B – 10) (B – 10)

= 3B2 – 10B – 30B + 100

Area of the path = Area of outer rectangle – Area of inner rectangle

= (L x B) – (3B2 – 10B – 30B + 100)

3B x B – (3B2 – 40B + 100)

= 3B2 – 3B2 + 40B – 100

Area of the path = 40B – 100

Given area of the path = 500 m2

40B – 100 = 50

40B = 500 + 100 = 600

B = \(\frac{600}{40}\)

B = 15m

Length of the field = 45 m; 

Breadth of the field = 15 m

A circular path has to be constructed around a circular ground. If the areas of the outer and inner circles are 1386 m2 and 616 m2 respectively, find the width and area of the path.

Answer»

Area of the outer circle = 1386 m2

πR2 = 1386m2

Area of the inner circle = 616 m2

πr2 = 616m2

Area of the path = Area of outer circle – Area of the inner circle

1386 m2 – 616 m2

Area of the path = 770m2

Also πR2 = 1386

R2 = \(\frac{1386\times7}{22}\)

R2 = 63 x 7

R2 = 9 x 7 x 7

R2 = 32 x 72

R = 3 x 7

Outer Radius R = 21 m

Again πr2 = 616

\(\frac{22}{7}\) x r2 = 616

r2 = 28 x 7 

r2 = 4 x 7 x 7 

r2 = 22 x 72 

r = 2 x 7 

Inner radius r = 14m 

Width of the path = Outer radius – Inner radius 

= 21 – 14 

Width of the path = 7m

A rectangular garden has dimensions 11 m x 8 m. A path of 2 m wide has to be constructed along its sides. Find the area of the path.

Answer»

Area of the rectangular garden L x B = 11 m x 8 m 

= 88 m2

Length of the inner rectangle L = L – 2 

W = 11 – 2(2) 

= 11 – 4 

= 7 m 

Breadth of the inner rectangle b = B – 2W 

= 8 – 2(2) 

= 8 – 4 

= 4 m 

Area of the inner rectangle = l x b sq. units 

= 7 x 4 m2 

= 28 m2 

Area of the path = Area of the outer rectangular garden – Area of the inner rectangle 

= 88 m2 – 28 m2 

= 60 m2 

Area of the path = 60 m2
