Question - 1 : -

A metallic sphere ofradius 4.2 cm is melted and recast into the shape of a cylinder of radius 6 cm.Find the height of the cylinder.

Answer - 1 : -

It is given that radius of the sphere (R) =4.2 cm

Also, Radius of cylinder (r) = 6 cm

Now, let height of cylinder = h

It is given that the sphere is melted into acylinder.

So, Volume of Sphere = Volume of Cylinder

(4/3)×π×R= π×r2×h.

h = 2.74 cm

Question - 2 : -

Metallic spheres ofradii 6 cm, 8 cm and 10 cm, respectively, are melted to form a single solidsphere. Find the radius of the resulting sphere.

Answer - 2 : -

Question - 3 : -

A 20 m deep wellwith diameter 7 m is dug and the earth from digging is evenly spread out toform a platform 22 m by 14 m. Find the height of the platform.

Answer - 3 : -

Question - 4 : -

 A well ofdiameter 3 m is dug 14 m deep. The earth taken out of it has been spread evenlyall around it in the shape of a circular ring of width 4 m to form anembankment. Find the height of the embankment.

Answer - 4 : -

Question - 5 : -

A container shapedlike a right circular cylinder having diameter 12 cm and height 15 cm is fullof ice cream. 

Answer - 5 : - The ice cream is to be filled into cones of height 12 cm and diameter 6 cm, having a hemispherical shape on the top. Find the number of such cones which can be filled with ice cream.


Question - 6 : -

How many silvercoins, 1.75 cm in diameter and of thickness 2 mm, must be melted to form acuboid of dimensions 5.5 cm × 10 cm × 3.5 cm?

Answer - 6 : -

Question - 7 : -

A cylindricalbucket, 32 cm high and with radius of base 18 cm, is filled with sand. Thisbucket is emptied on the ground and a conical heap of sand is formed. If theheight of the conical heap is 24 cm, find the radius and slant height of theheap.

Answer - 7 : -

Question - 8 : - Water in a canal, 6 m wide and 1.5 m deep, isflowing with a speed of 10 km/h. How much area will it irrigate in 30 minutes,if 8 cm of standing water is needed?

Answer - 8 : -

Question - 9 : -

A farmer connects apipe of internal diameter 20 cm from a canal into a cylindrical tank in herfield, which is 10 m in diameter and 2 m deep. If water flows through the pipeat the rate of 3 km/h, in how much time will the tank be filled?

Answer - 9 : -

Consider the following diagram-

Volume of water that flows in t minutes frompipe = t×0.5π m3

Volume of water that flows in t minutes frompipe = t×0.5π m3

Radius (r2) of circular end ofcylindrical tank =10/2 = 5 m

Depth (h2) of cylindrical tank = 2m

Let the tank be filled completely in tminutes.

Volume of water filled in tank in t minutes isequal to the volume of water flowed in t minutes from the pipe.

Volume of water that flows in t minutes frompipe = Volume of water in tank

t×0.5π = π×r22×h2

Or, t = 100 minutes
