Answer» Correct Answer - D
Let the radii of two spheres are `r_(1) ` and `r_(2)` respectively .
`therefore ` Volume of the sphere of radius , `r_(1) = V_(1) = (4)/(3) pir_(1)^(3)" "……..(i) " "[therefore "Volume of sphere "= (4)/(3) pi ("radius")^(3)]`
and volume of the sphere of radius , `r_(2) = v_(1) = (4)/( 3) pi r_(2)^(3)" "....(ii)`
Given, ratio of volume `= V_(1): V_(2)= (64)/(27) rArr ((3)/(4) pir_(1)^(3))/((4)/(3)pir_(2)^(3))" "["Using Eqs, (i) and (ii)"]`
`rArr " "(r_(1)^(3))/(r_(2)^(3)) =(64)/(27)rArr (r_(1))/(r_(2)) = (4)/(3)" "......(i)`
Now, ratio of surface area `= (4pir_(1)^(2))/(4pir_(2))" "[therefore "Surface area of a sphere"= 4 pi ("radius")^(2)]`
`" "(r_(1)^(2))/(r_(2)^(2))`
`" "= ((r_(1))/(r_(2)))^(2) = ((4)/(3))^(2) " "["Using Eq. (iii)"]`

The capacity of a closed cylindrical vessel of height 1 m is 15.4 litres. How manysquare metres of metal sheet would be needed to make it?

Answer» Volume=15.4 liters
`pir^2h=15.4*10^(-3)m^3`
`r^2=49*10^(-4)m^2`
`4=7*10^(-2)m`
TSA of cylinder=CSA +2BA
=`2piRh+2pir^2`
=`2pir(r+h)`
=`2*22/7*7(1+0.07)m`
=`47.08*10^(-2)m^2`

A metal pipe is 77 cm long. The inner diameter of a cross section is 4 cm, the outer diameter being 4.4 cm.  Find its(i) inner curved surface area,(ii) outer curved surface area,(iii) total surface area

Answer» 1) Inner surface area=`2pirh`
`=2*22/7*77*2`
=968`cm^2`
2) Outer surfacce area=`2pirh`
`=2*22/7*2.2*77`
=10647.8`cm^2`
3) Total surface area=outer surface area+inner surface area+ring.
=968+1064.8+`pi(R^2+r^2)`
=2032.8+22/7(4.4^2-4^2)
=2034.36`cm^2`

A hemispherical tank full of water is emptied by a pipe at the rate of `(25)/7`litres per second. How much time will it take to empty half the tank, if it is 3m in diameter?

Answer» Volume of hemispeherical tank, `V = 2/3pir^3`
Here, diameter,`d= 3m`
So, radius, `r = 1.5m`
So, `V = 2/3**22/7**(1.5)^3 = 2/3**22/7**27/8=99/14`
`V/2 = 99/28`
Let `t` is the time taken in seconds to empty half of the tank,
As, the tank is emptied at the rate of `25/7` litres per second. then,
`25/7**t = 99**1000/28`(Multiplied by 1000 to convert it into litres)
`=>t = 99000/28**7/25 = 990 ` seconds` = 990/60 = 16.5` minutes

The inner diameter of a cylindrical wooden pipe is 24 cm and its outer diameter is 28 cm. The length of the pipe is 35 cm. Find the mass of the pipe, if 1 cm3 of wood has a mass of 0.6 g.

Answer» Volume=Volume of outer cylinder-Volume of inner cylinder
=`piR^2h-pir^2h`
=`pih(R^2-r^2)`
=`22/7*35(14^2-12^2)`
=`5720cc`
Mass=0.69*5720
=3432g.

A water flows through a cylindrical pipe, whose inner radius is 1 cm, at the rate of `80 cm^(-1)` in an empty cylindrical tank, the radius of whose base is 40 cm. What is the rise of water level in tank in half an hour?

Answer» Given , radius of tank , `r_(1) = 40 cm`
Let hight of water level in tank in half an hour =` h_(1)`
Also , given internal radius of cylindrical pipe, `r_(2) = 1cm`
and speed of water `= 80 cm//s ` i.e., in 1 water flow = 80 cm
`therefore` In 30 (min) water flow `= 80 xx 60 xx 30 = 144000 cm`
According to the question,
Volume of water in cylindrical tank = Volume of water flow from the circular pipe in half an hour
`rArr " " pir_(1)^(2) h_(1) = pi r_(2)^(2) h_(2)`
`rArr " " 40 xx 40 xx h_(1) = 1 xx 1xx 144000`
`therefore " " h_(1) = (144000)/(40 xx 40) = 90` cm in half an hour.
