A right triangle, whose sides are 3 cm and 4 cm (other than hypotenuse) is made to revolve about its hypotenuse. Find the volume and surface area of the double cone so formed. (Choose value of π as found appropriate.)
A cistern, internally measuring 150 cm × 120 cm × 110 cm, has 129600 cm3 of water in it. Porous bricks are placed in the water until the cistern is full to the brim. Each brick absorbs one-seventeenth of its own volume of water. How many bricks can be put in without overflowing the water, each brick being 22.5 cm × 7.5 cm × 6.5 cm?
Volume of water in the cistern
= 129600 cm3
Let l, b and h are the length, breadth and height of the cistern. Then
l = 150 cm, b = 120 cm and h = 110 cm
Now, Volume of cistern = l x b x h
= 150 x 120 x 110 = 1980000 cm3
∴ Volume of cistern to be filled
= (1980000 – 129600) cm3
= 1850400 cm3
Volume of one brick
= (22.5 x 7.5 x 6.5) cm3
= 1096.875 cm3
Let the total number of bricks be x.
then, water absored by x bricks
Volume of the water left in the cistem
Since, the cistern is filled upto the brim. Therefore,
Volume of the cistern
= Volume of the water left in the cistern + volume of the bricks
Hence, total no of bricks = 1792 (approx).
In one fortnight of a given month, there was a rainfall of 10 cm in a river valley. If the area of the valley is 7280 km2, show that the total rainfall was approximately equivalent to the addition to the normal water of three rivers each 1072 km long, 75 m wide and 3 m deep.
An oil funnel made of tin sheet consists of a 10 cm long cylindrical portion attached to a frustum of a cone. If the total height is 22 cm, diameter of the cylindrical portion is 8 cm and the diameter of the top of the funnel is 18 cm, find the area of the tin sheet required to make the funnel (see the given Fig.
