Lalitha wants to buy a round carpet of radius is 63 cm for her hall. Find the area that will be covered by the carpet.

Answer»

Radius of the round carpet = 63 cm 

Area covered by the round carpet = πr2 sq units

A = \(\frac{22}{7}\) x 63 x 63 

= 22 x 9 x 63 

= 12474 cm2 

Area covered by the round carpet = 12,474 cm2

Latha wants to put a lace on the edge of a circular table cover of diameter 3 m. Find the length of the lace required and also find the cost if one metre of the lace costs Rs 30 (Take π = 3.15)

Answer»

Diameter of the circular table cover = 3m 

Circumference C = πd units 

= 3.15 x 3 m 

= 9.45 m 

Length of the lace required = 9.45 m 

Cost of lace per meter = Rs 30 

∴ Cost of 9.45m lace = Rs 30 x 9.45 = Rs 283.50

203.

The floor of the circular swimming pool whose radius is 7 m has to be cemented at the rate of Rs 18 per m2. Find the total cost of cementing the floor.

Answer»

Radius of the circular swimming pool r = 7 m 

Area of the circular swimming pool A = πr2 sq. units 

= \(\frac{22}{7}\) x 7 x 7 m2 

= 154 m2 

Cost of cementing a m2 floor = Rs 18. 

Cost of cementing 154 m2 floor = Rs 18 x 154

= Rs 2,772

A sprinkler placed at the centre of a flower garden sprays water covering a circular area. If the area watered is 1386 cm2, find its radius and diameter.

Answer»

Area of the circle = πr2 sq.units 

Area of the circular portion watered = 1386 cm2 

πr2 = 1386 

\(\frac{22}{7}\) x r2 = 1386

r2 = 1386 x \(\frac{7}{22}\)

= 63 x 7 

= 9 x 7 x 7 

r2 = 32 x 72 

r = 3 x 7 

Radius (r) = 21 cm

Diameter (d) = 2r 

= 2 x 21 cm 

Diameter (d) = 42 cm

205.

Thenmozhi wants to level her circular flower garden whose diameter is 49 m at the rate of Rs 150 per m2. Find the cost of levelling.

Answer»

Diamter of the circular garden d = 49 m 

Radius r = \(\frac{d}{2}\)

= \(\frac{49}{2}\) m

Area of the circular garden = πr2 sq units 

= \(\frac{22}{7}\) x \(\frac{49}{2}\) x \(\frac{49}{2}\) m2

= 1,886.5 m2 

Cost of levelling a m2 area = Rs 150 

∴ Cost of levelling 1886.5 m2 = Rs 150 x 1886.5 

= Rs 2,82,975 

Cost of levelling the flower garden = Rs 2,82,975

Two spheres of same size are made from copper and iron respectively. Find the ratio between their masses. Density of copper 8,900 kg/m and iron 7,800 kg/m3

Answer»

Given : Density Copper Dc = 8900 kg/m3

Density of Iron D1 = 7800 kg/m3 

Volume of Copper sphere = Volume of Iron sphere

To find : Ratio of Masses of Copper (MC) and Iron (MI)

Solution: Mass = Density x Volume 

MC = DC x V, M1 = D1 x V 

MC = 8900 V, M1 = 7,800 V 

MC = M1 

8900 V : 7800 V 

= 1.14: 1

211.

Why does an iron needle sink in water, but not an iron ship?

Answer»

Iron needle is compact and its density is 7.6 g/cm3 Thus, as the density of iron needle is more than 1 g/cm3 therefore, it sinks in water. However, the iron ship is constructed in such a way that it is mostly hollow from within, thus, the volume of iron ship becomes very large as compared to its mass and hence its density is less than 1g/cm3 . As the density of iron ship is less than 1g/cm3 , therefore it floats in water.

Take a measuring cylinder and pour some water into it (Do not fill the cylinder completely). Note down the volume of water from the readings of the measuring cylinder. Take it as V . Now take a small stone and tie it with a thread. Immerse the stone inside the water by holding the thread. This has to be done such that the stone does not touch the walls of the measuring cylinder. Now, the level of water has raised. Note down the volume of water and take it to be V . The volume of the stone is equal to the raise in the volume of water.V1= _______V2=_______Volume of stone = v2 – v1 =_______.

Answer»

V1 = 30 cc, V2 = 40 cc; Volume of stone =v2 – v1 

= 40cc – 30cc = 10cc
