How many metallic balls of radius 1 cm can be recast by melting a metallic sphere of radius 8 cm?

Answer» Correct Answer - 3.14 cm
Radius of metallic ball = 1cm
Volume of one ball = `(4)/(3)pi(1^(3))=(4)/(3)picm^(3)`
Radius of sphere=8cm
Volume of sphere=`(4)/(3)pi(8)^(3)cm^(3)`
Now the numebr of metallic balls =`("volume of sphere")/("volume of one ball")=((4)/(3)pi(8)^(3))/((4)/(3)pi)=(8)^(3)=512`

Ashot-putt is a metallic sphere of radius 4.9 cm. If the density of the metalis `7. 8" "g" "p e r" "c m^3`, find the mass of the shot-putt

Answer» A shot-put is a solid sphere of metal and its mass is equal to the product of its volume and density
Volume of the shot-put
`= (4)/(3)pi r^(3)`
`= ((4)/(3) xx (22)/(7) xx (49)/(10) xx (49)/(10) xx (49)/(10)) cm^(3)`
`= (1479016)/(3000) cm^(3) = 493 cm^(3)` (nearly)
Mass of `1 cm^(3)` of the shot-put = 7.8g
Mass of the shot-put
`= (7.8 xx 493)g`
`= ((78)/(10) xx (493)/(1000)) kg = (38454)/(10000) kg = 3.85kg` (nearly)
Hence, the mass of the given shot-put is 3.85 kg

Find the length of 13.2 kg of copper wire of diameter 4 mm, when 1 cubic centimetre of copper weights 8.4 g.

Answer» Correct Answer - 125 m
Let the required length of wire be x cm
Then, its volume `= ((22)/(7) xx (2)/(10) xx (2)/(10) xx x) cm^(3) = ((22x)/(175)) cm^(3)`
`:.` its weight `= ((22x)/(175) xx 8.4) g = ((22x xx 8.4)/(175 xx 1000)) kg`
`:. (22x xx 8.4)/(175 xx 1000) = 13.2`
`rArr x = ((13.2 xx 175 xx 1000)/(22 xx 8.4)) cm = ((132 xx 175 xx 1000)/(22 xx 84 xx 100))m = 125m`

Shanti Sweets Stall was placingan order for making cardboard boxes for packing their sweets. Two sizes ofboxes were required. The bigger of dimensions `25" "c m" "xx" "20" "c m" "xx" "5c m`and the smaller of dimensions `15" "c m" "xx" "

Answer» Surface area of one bigger box =`2(25xx20xx20xx5+5xx25)`
1450 `cm^(2)`
By adding 5% overlaps =1450+72.5=1522.5 `cm^(2)`
Area for 250 bigger boxes =1522.5`xx`250 `cm^(2)`
cost for 250 bigger boxes =`1522.5xx250xx(4)/(1000)`=Rs 1522.5
Surface area of one smaller box =`2(15xx12+12xx5+xx15)=630 cm^(2)`
By adding 5% for overlaps =630+31.5=661.5 `cm^(2)`
Area for 250 small boxes =`661.5xx250xx(4)/(1000)=Rs 661.5`
Total cost =1522.5+661.5=Rs 2184

The diameter of a roller, 120 cm long, is 84 cm. If it takes 500 complete revolutions to level a playground, find the cost of levelling it at Rs 5 per square metre.

Answer» Radius of the roller, r = 42 cm, and its length, h = 120 cm
Area covered by the roller in 1 revolution
= curved surface area of the roller
`= (2pi rh)` sq units
`= (2 xx (22)/(7) xx 42 xx 120) cm^(2) = 31680 cm^(2)`
Area covered by the roller in 500 revolutions
`(31680 xx 500) cm^(2) = ((31680 xx 500)/(100 xx 100)) m^(2) = 1584 m^(2)`
`:.` area of the playground `= 1584 m^(2)`
Cost of levelling the playground `= Rs (1584 xx 5) = Rs 7920`

Answer» We have, `V = 9856 cm^(3) and r = 14 cm`
(i) Let the height of the cone be h cm
Then, volume `= (1)/(3) pi r^(2)h`
`rArr 9856 = (1)/(3) xx (22)/(7) xx 14 xx 14 xx h`
`rArr h = ((9856 xx 3 xx 7)/(22 xx 14 xx 14)) = 48`
`:.` height of the cone is 48 cm

`l^(2) = r^(2) + h^(2)`
`rArr l^(2) = (14)^(2) + (48)^(2) = 196 + 2304 = 2500`
`rArr l = sqrt(2500)= 50`
`:.` height of the cone is 50 cm
(iii) Curved surface area of the cone
`= pi rl`
`= ((22)/(7) xx 14 xx 50) cm^(2) = 2200 cm^(2)`

The height of a cone is 21 cm and its slant height is 28 cm. The volume of the cone is

Answer» We have, `h = 21 cm and l = 28 cm`
`:. l^(2) = r^(2) + h^(2) rArr r = sqrt(l^(2) - h^(2)) = sqrt((28)^(2) - (21)^(2)) cm`

Find the surface area of a sphere whose volume is `4851 cm^(3)`

Answer» Let the radius of the sphere by r cm
Then, its volume `= ((4)/(3) pi r^(3)) cm^(3)`
`:. (4)/(3) pi r^(3) = 4851 rArr (4)/(3) xx (22)/(7) xx r^(3) = 4851`
`rArr r^(3) = (4851 xx (3)/(4) xx (7)/(22)) = ((441 xx 21)/(8)) = ((21)/(2))^(3)`
`rArr r = (21)/(2) = 10.5`
Thus, the radius of the sphere is 10.5 cm
Surface area of the sphere `= (4pi r^(2))` sq units
`= (4 xx (22)/(7) xx (21)/(2) xx (21)/(2)) cm^(2)`
`= 1386 cm^(2)`
Hence, the surface area of the given sphere is `1386 cm^(2)`
